"Luisa Muhr's voice is
remarkably striking."
Free Jazz Collective
"...mesmerizing, often
haunting multimedia sonata
of sorts... her lustrous
vocalese is a trip..."
New York Music Daily
"She sets an emotional vibe that sounds familiar and engaging, but with no literal dictionaries or guides."
Salt Peanut
"...utterly haunting vocals..."
"...heady stuff indeed and a
rewarding journey for
braver musical travelers..."
The New York City
Jazz Record
"Luisa Muhr's urging
exclamations ... serve as the
human cry and chatter of
myth encountered on any
street while venturing the
shadows of New York City."
