“Where once Marina seemed caught between art-pop and a chart place, she’s now gleefully speeding down her own unique lane. This fifth album – the second since Marina Diamandis dropped “and the Diamonds” from her stage name – is definitely her most political. Now based in LA, the wildly talented Welshwoman takes aim at racism, misogyny and capitalism – and that’s just in one bar of ‘Purge The Poison”
“MARINA soars on the multi-threaded Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land”
“The unmistakably dramatic pop singer seeks the divine feminine, embracing a bold yet soft aesthetic that’s more effective than some of her lyrics.”
“It's admirable that Marina tackles a number of weighty subject matters on Ancient Dreams; unfortunately, there's often not enough follow-through on the musical end.”
