Press Reviews "Babylonian Tiles...exciting new American band who merge '60s psychedelia with '80s Gothic rock and come up with a strange, but very impressive sound. Led by the exquisite voice and strong keyboards of Bryna Golden this album has a dark trippy atmosphere. The bands next album features a cover of an Ultimate Spinach song! Everything Alice in Wonderland should have been but wasn't...resembles a tripped out Siouxsie... Rippling organ lines, liquid guitar and those fabulous vocals create an extremely interesting newsound that is a real breath of fresh air."~The Delerium Psychedelic Web Of Sound"
