    "Simple love songs that catch you off guard and a subtle sexuality and blatant carnality that are disarmingly sweet and slyly dark ." -- Dirty Linen

    "An exotic libation in a world where Budweiser is the big seller." -- Worcester News And Telegram

    " Coy, feline, and a little ominous , [Clare Fader] belongs to the world of crumbling staircases and dark nights, alone with a snifter of absinthe." -- Asheville Express

    "A woozy, Bohemian sound that absorbs elements of jazz, folk and pop, all tugged at by dueling influences of retro-chic and the avant-garde. Tom Waits, you have a sister in arms." -- Worcester Telegram & Gazette
