.... they breathe sadness and celebration in the same breath because they own
that paradox, all while retaining status as pop through their brilliant
narratives and insularly intricate musicianship... - Album Review:

.... With her cigarette-rough voice, Fischer invites comparison to Nico or Patti
Smith, though her superior range and color indicate that the similarity has more
to do with persona than sound. The slow burning anger in these songs is hardly
apparent at first, but finally surfaces as defiance rather than cynicism. It is
the sound of a damaged romantic who cannot reconcile herself with the random
blows of fate administered by an unthinking world. "Things go wrong and no one's
to blame," she sings, signing a sympathy card for the broken-hearted multitudes.
It's as poignant as a regretful letter to an old lover, or a face glimpsed in
the window of a passing train, never to be seen again...- Album of the Week,

.... Akin to Diamanda Galas singing German cabaret music as played by King
Crimson, or something like that, the music is thoroughly engaging. Over it all,
Fisher's sinuous voice delivers her often dark and edgy lyrics about "love songs
for the dead" and smiling angels inside picture frames. - A - The Vancouver
Province
