The New York Times
"The next great American road album is here"
The Atlantic
"Alynda Segarra has been a patron saint of troubadours for fifteen years…The Past Is Still Alive continues a mission of record-keeping for outcasts"
The New Yorker
"One of America's best songwriters"
Vulture
"This is Hurray for the Riff Raff's Hejira, this is that Joni Mitchell high point"
Ann Powers, NPR Music
"One of their generation’s most fearless folk-rock storytellers"
Pitchfork, Best Albums of the 2020s So Far
"Astonishingly realized…the best batch of songs Segarra's ever written"
Rolling Stone
"Alynda Segarra is finding freedom in grief…their new record functions as a kind of queer Americana ode to the colorful cast of characters they have encountered over the years"
Vogue
"Their best album…The Past Is Still Alive, the star's ninth studio album, stands alone as a triumph in its production, performance and songwriting and practically every other metric"
Billboard
"The most important album of the 2020s so far—a stark, multi-dimensional account of boundless communal love, meditations on class disparity and despair and fear synthesized into a container of relentless courage"
Paste, Cover Story
"Just give Segarra a damn Pulitzer already"
SPIN
"A damn good Americana record with all the makings of an instant folk classic
Them
"A travelogue tracing the musician's formative years as a train-hopping, dumpster-diving punk troubadour, The Past Is Still Alive also casts the net wide to unpack the American Dream"
