"Oh My Darlin' is the most imminently listenable and emotionally eviscerating offering from STREAKING IN TONGUES yet. Ronnie and Elliott Ferguson continue to refine their craft, creating music that's endearing and engaging. Slowly building a repertoire of challenging records covering difficult subject matter, the father/son duo has refined their distinct brand of lo-fi experimental folk music into their most coherent and powerful artistic statement yet. Oh My Darlin' explores love and divorce in frequently-uncomfortable terms, but its unflinching nature and careful construction make it the band's most gratifying listen."
-We Are Mirrors, Best Albums of 2019

“Surreal soundscapes that demand as much of a reaction out of us through the texture of their melodies as they do the substance of their soulful lyricism. I didn’t know if they were going to be able to top the majestically postmodern tour de force that was Kindergarten Prayers, but I am happy to report that STREAKING IN TONGUES’ Oh My Darlin’ is every bit the refined successor most critics (myself included) had hoped it would be.”
-Indie Shark, Pick of the Week and Catch of the Month

“Trying to predict what’s going to come at us next in this tracklist is like trying to pinpoint when and where a hurricane is going to land some twenty years from now. STREAKING IN TONGUES’ Oh My Darlin’ is an undisputed classic and an album for the ages.”
-NeuFutur

“Ronnie Ferguson and his extraordinarily talented son Elliott deliver a record that borrows equal parts from Songs of Pain, The Velvet Underground, Rain Dogs and A Saucerful of Secrets but is inevitably recognizable as being theirs and theirs alone. Oh My Darlin’ is a melodic lo-fi masterpiece.”
-Indie Pulse Music

“STREAKING IN TONGUES sample from ambient, experimental, noise, folk, traditional singer/songwriter music and garage rock influences in Oh My Darlin’, and even if it might be the most angular album that this pair has released so far, it’s also one of the most important records to hit stores this October.”
-Too Much Love

“STREAKING IN TONGUES reestablish themselves as melodic marksmen capable of finding something glittery in even the grimmest of sonic environments. Oh My Darlin’ is one of the best of 2019. Five stars, without a doubt.”
-Skope Magazine

“They come to us haggard in one track and glistening in another, but no matter what occasion on which we’re visited by the simple string harmonies that dominate the whole of STREAKING IN TONGUES’ Oh My Darlin’, we’re met with just as much of a storyteller in their vibrations as we are in the powerful, emotion-filled lead vocal. The chemistry that this duo has can only be found in familial musical groups, and specifically between the collaboration of a father and son, and it’s incredible to hear it experimented with in such a freeform capacity.”
-The Indie Source

“In the last couple of years, critics have come to adore STREAKING IN TONGUES for their home-style harmonies and breathtakingly emotive experiments in noise and pop nuance, and what they deliver unto us in Oh My Darlin’ might be the quintessential release of their career together.”

“On the surface, STREAKING IN TONGUES take a twisted carnival soundtrack and inject it with smart, self-aware lyrical fodder in ‘Irrational Blues,’ but when we look deeper at this song – and all fourteen of its tracklist neighbors in the brand new album Oh My Darlin’ – we discover an emotional ballad that is as driven by acidic jazz rhythm as it is broken folk melodies. In all of the songs that come out of the shadows following ‘Sure as Heaven,’ there’s a confidence that you just can’t find in popular music anymore, and it’s generated by both the assault of STREAKING IN TONGUES and the vibrancy of the music they create when they’re performing in total synchronicity.”
-Vents Magazine

"The harmonies float as high as the heavens can take them in 'Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait for Me,' and while STREAKING IN TONGUES stir up a similarly transcendent vibe in the Harry Nilsson-reminiscent 'Inside out and on My Ass,' they're no less a captivating gem as they are in the violent 'Sunlight of a Thousand Babes,' cowpunk swing tune 'Sure as Heaven' or the self-explanatory 'Irrational Blues.' In STREAKING IN TONGUES' latest record Oh My Darlin', the father and son-led band tries what other artists are often too hesitant, or too inept, to attempt, and to say that the results are some of the finest that the avant-folk scene has heard this year would be just too great an understatement for anyone to make."
-Music Existence

“Oh My Darlin’ is an LP defined by its dualities, and in a startlingly single-threaded chapter of pop music history, it’s all the more a diamond in the rough because of the diverse array of compositional styles it weaves together so perfectly. The father-son pairing absolutely kills it.”
