"But here, in the haunted circle that was Moon Pix, she realizes something about herself, her art, and transmits it to us for the first time. “Metal heart/You’re not hiding/Metal heart, you’re not worth a thing,” she sang on the chorus. An “Amazing Grace” quote escapes her like a hiccup—she sounds startled to find herself singing it, mimicking the nature of revelation itself. Grace—itself accidental, capricious, not to be owned—seems to guide Marshall through Moon Pix like a waking dream. If we still yearn to embrace her tale about that single fevered night of songwriting, about keeping devils at bay with just her voice, well, we have Moon Pix to thank for prodding us into believing it."
