Critic Reviews
Show All-
NME
She was always too interesting to fit into a cookie-cutter hitmaker mould, and here Marina Diamandis settles nicely into her own idiosyncratic groove.

With Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, Marina has successfully demonstrated her incredible ability as an artist. Her confidence not only as a performer, but as a woman, shines through – she hasn’t let Hollywood change her, and we should all be thankful for that.

MODA
Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land is as aberrant as it is cliché, yet it is clear that it is a body of work that is all Marina, which is all you can ask for from an artist.

She didn’t say a great deal but it’s exactly this sort of thought for her fans at a time when conventional gigging is all but impossible that will ensure interest remains high in her when things return to normal.

The Indiependent
Overall, the record is a triumphant return for Marina. The way she has managed to draw the best parts from each of her previous projects encapsulates how outstanding she is as an artist and a performer. This album deserves every success and is definitely worth every listen.

The Aquarian
Having her level of talent and her kind of platform makes Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land a period piece, as it instantly reflects the state of life we live in; a life where we are stuck in quarantine, dwelling too harshly on our past, and going to therapy to make peace with our place in the world. Every song is a female empowerment anthem in some way or another – and it’s obvious now.

Culled Culture
All artists have to compromise a little, but it’s amazing that I’ve had the creative freedom to write the records that I want. You don’t have to conform in order to see success in your creative life.” MARINA is rare proof of that, and so is Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land.
