—Maria Somerville, NTS Radio Live
“Her expansive range floats and lilts like beguiling shadows cast across a sea glass beach, shimmering in a thousand directions scattering every color of light imaginable. It’s stunning. Elsewhere, subterranean tonal drifts resonate with an aqueous gleam.”
—Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis
“Haunting, listenable, and original.”
—David Greenwalt, executive producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Grimm
