“Scarlett O’Hanna achieves the grace of a modern classic on Precious Nothings, harkening back to the ecstasy of peak new-wave while remaining fully rooted in her unique singer-songwriter present.

Hardships and high points wrapped all in one, Precious Nothings reflects a decades worth of Scarlett’s evolution as an artist, a long-term breakthrough laid out plainly on Precious Nothings’ opening track “Unafraid”:

'These are unloving times to live but / At the end of fear is a door'.
