Artist description "Spindle Shanks is an incredible work of dark richly textured, well orchestrated, soft yet intense soundscape of Neo-Gothic based music. Keyboards are full, ominous and threatening, carving deep into a sense of timeless symphony. Jeanne Fahey's "breathtaking nightmare" vocals are serious and haunting yet not so Gothic in origin that you get depressed hearing them -- The overall sound is "dream-like" with a gentle and softly twisted fairy tale kind of atmosphere."http://www.waste.org/lastsigh/reviews/spindleshanks.htm

Press Reviews It's hard to put into words the intense, dark emotions that Spindle Shanks sets into motion. All at once beautiful, menacing, graceful, and angry. (FLIPSIDE MAGAZINE, #121)Ambient with teeth. Odyssean siren Jeanne Fahey's ruthlessly sweet, expressive voice and Michael Watson's stealthy keyboard virtuosity paint a cold and unsettling tapestry of bitterness and regret. No horror-movie spooks here, just the all-too-familiar sharp edges of the human heart."(http://www.indiepro.com/gothic.htm)"Spindle Shanks wouldn't be out of place on the 4AD of the late-eighties - but that's not to say that they're not entirely contemporary. In fact the term 'contemporary' is completely redundant here, as this music is timeless." (reviewed at: http://members.tripod.com/~dvayshun/deviation/)
