From review of New Forms Festival in September 2001 Discorder Newspaper:
"Local vocalist mikela j. mikael's exquisite voice and trip-hop backbeat are set for stardom as far as I'm concerned." - Robert Robot
Album review by Leanne wierzba of Loop Magazine May 2001
Unspoken
Unspoken
Independent
I cease to be impressed by Vancouver's vast
wealth of musical talent. This album is another
reminder of the depth and variety of sound that
has been cultivated by musicians here. I
hesitate to compare this album to others I've
heard, as the sound is very original and personal.
It has a somewhat loungey feel to it: very
mellow and understated. Yet, at the same time,
the sound is quite aggressive and melancholic.
Perhaps it is Mikéla J. Mikael's eclectic vocal
stylings that add an enigmatic and compelling
feel to the music, which draws the listener
further into the understated sound of the band.
The band's use of string instruments (two violins,
guitar and the double bass) and the djembé is
innovative and compelling. The majority of this
album was recorded live at Grrrlapalooza last
summer, and it is apparent that these musicians
are not only talented, but they are extremely
good performers. Keep an eye out for them around
town.
