Pitchfork 7.5/10 Pairing her simple, unaffected vocal style with carefully synthesized arrangements, the Chicago-based musician departs from her indie-rock foundations in search of musical and personal freedom.

Under The Radar 7.0/10 Lillie West’s third album as Lala Lala is a reflection of the self, and all the distortions that make us who we are. I Want The Door To Open is at once introspective and existential, atmospheric and surreal—a distant destination from the guitar-driven focus of 2018’s acclaimed The Lamb.
