Pitchfork
Masseduction Rewired is by no means indispensable, but as a distraction it has the frustrating charm of a good crossword puzzle.

Genre-bending interpretations feature strongly throughout.

Rough Trade

Nina Kraviz presents Masseducation Rewired features remixes from Jlin, Laurel Halo, Mala, Batu, Pearson Sound, Hieroglyphic Being, Midland, and more. The new remix album follows St. Vincent’s 2018 album Masseducation, which featured stripped down recordings of Masseducation's songs.

The Guardian
It’s a fragmented release that views St Vincent’s original material through many different emotional and musical lenses. Russian producer Kraviz moves St Vincent’s 2017 album through a variety of gloomy musical lenses, from footwork to dub.
-
The Music
Digging deep into the indie-pop source material to express the emotions of these songs in an abstract and impressionistic electronic soundscape. This is Masseduction as it might have been released in an alternative universe.

Atwood Magazine
Kraviz’ MASSEDUCTION Rewired is a spasmodic, hyper and fractured curation of remixes of an album that already had its own consistency issues. The result is a project that contains about an hour of deadweight music, but also a handful of enchanting moments that may well stand the test of time.

Stereogum
St. Vincent has already gotten a lot of mileage out of her 2017 album MASSEDUCTION. Last year, she released a stripped-down reimagined version of the album called MassEducation. Earlier this year, she performed “Masseduction” with Dua Lipa at the Grammys and released a new video for the song. And now, she’s giving us a whole MASSEDUCTION remix album.

Under The Radar
MASSEDUCTION isn't a record that needed rewiring. It was near-perfect from the start. But if all this record does is give us another opportunity to dance to some of St. Vincent's best work, it's done its job.

Indie Brew
The Russian techno DJ Nina Kraviz enlists Jlin, Buttechno, Midland, and others in remixing all 13 songs from Annie Clark’s 2017 album, to sometimes scattershot effect.

Acoustic Sounds
An eclectic remix package of St. Vincent's Grammy award winning album Masseduction, curated by Nina Kraviz. From frantic IDM and manic footwork to glistening house and meditative dubstep (via just about everything in between) her selections build an inspired portfolio from an abundance of talent. At times fragmented, at others familiar, it takes the spirit of Masseduction and runs with it in every way possible.

The Quietus
Nina Kraviz has been enlisted to curate the remix LP, titled Nina Kraviz Presents MASSEDUCTION Rewired, which takes in 21 reworks in total. She's contributed three remixes of her own (one in collaboration with Stroboscopic Artefacts boss Lucy), and has also enlisted Jlin, Laurel Halo, Pearson Sound, Mala, Batu, Midland and Steffi, amongst others, to put their own spin on tracks from the record.

Freaky Party
Russian producer Kraviz moves St Vincent’s 2017 album through a variety of gloomy musical lenses, from footwork to dub. Throughout the 2010s, the album has become somewhat amorphous. St Vincent’s songs through the hands of such a diverse cast of producers makes for a disjointed listening experience and broken narrative; but along the way, there are moments of raw, magnetic beauty.

Resident Advisor
For Nina Kraviz Presents MASSEDUCTION Rewired, the Russian techno star has enlisted a slew of artists from a wide range of genres to put their own twist on the Grammy-award winning album.

No matter how well you think you know what to expect, the Nina Kraviz vocal mix is another beast entirely.
