“Tolerable. The guitar needs to be cleaned up.”

“I always thought she had the potential to do better than Ash axegirl, and that's it. I liked her previous solo album, and I like this song a lot, with its sort of new wave feel (but the verse sounds to me like an old guitar-pumped Cardigans' tune). Moreover, she did her first solo album here in Italy at beautiful friends of mine's recording facility. Beautiful.”

“Kinda Patty Smith meets Chrissy Hynde thing going on here. Her site has a seriously nice picture of her in a jumpsuit. ”

“Straight Lines has a flavor of mid 80s Bowie, a la Low and Scary Monsters. The slightly skewed guitars give it a eerie quality. I love this song. The chorus has a great hook. I think this is going to be an underground fave. Hatherley's voice has an honest quality, straight and strong; similar to Poe. -Racine, NYC”

“I love songs like this--smooth and mellow, like a cool drink whose ice cubes have long-melted and left it perfectly balanced for flowing down the throat--but it's a drink for the ears instead of the mouth and throat. The lyrics have actual effort put into them--this is a song to listen to and appreciate, not to just play in the background when you want something going while you focus on something else.”

“This is a very quirky song...the lyrics are not as shallow as some other songs, so for that we're grateful... :P The harmonies are addicting, and the more you listen to them, the more you are swept away by the intricate twists this talented composer decides to throw in....”

“Wow, the dreaminess of The Shins with the wacky poetic retro-ness of Robyn Hitchcock. This is awesome. I can't stop listening to it!”
