"This remarkable album cannot be quantified, only experienced. Mary Halvorson's Code Girl are so mercurial in method and content - and mystifying in execution - they actually deserve their own genre"

"The music is dramatic and can be a jarring listen. The players do connect. They contribute individually to make sounds together as part of a whole even as they simultaneously come off as disputatious and conflicting. It would not be a stretch to describe the album as cacophonous. Halvorson uses the various elements to aestheticize the confusing world around her. She may be falling, but that indeterminate state sure beats crashing"
