"...there are two excellent discs here, but it is on the more recent of the two (The Vallejo Demos) that the power of Bianchi's compelling songwriting becomes obvious; minus the interesting keyboard blips and distortion that decorate much of Eleven Demos By Adam Bianchi, Bianchi's arrestingly intimate storytelling technique is free to bask in the glow of its own gentle light. Situated somewhere near the unlikely intersection of Hank Williams and Elliot Smith, Bianchi comes off as a less-ambitious (but easily capable) challenger to a slot currently occupied by Damien Jurado; if he sticks to what he's been doing, the title is his for the taking." [8 Blips out of 10 (Growth Potential 9/10)] - Paul B. Sikes of Under The Radar
"...his songs carry the spirit of Fahey's music - they draw on the ghosts of the past to create music that feels very alive today. The Vallejo Demos are possessed by memories of American folk musics past; it shows in the acoustic guitars, banjos and harmonicas Bianchi plays, but also in the how the lyrics echo gospel, blues and folk traditions. Yet these songs, recorded by Bianchi at his home last summer, don't come off like exercises in style or like trips down memory lane. Instead they're alive with real human stories and feelings. Love, loss, sadness, mortality...these are timeless themes that bridge generations, and in Bianchi's hands they're rendered powerfully...The Vallejo Demos positively glows with atmosphere and feeling - the songs linger long after the last seconds have passed. " - Dave Heaton of Erasing Clouds
"...his songs are riddled with sadness and reassure us that we're not alone in this great and mighty world of ours. Demos they may be, but important is right in the middle of everything." - J-Sin of Smother.net
"...the music is simple, strings driven, acoustic. It's warm, pleasant, and plays a stellar supporting role to the vocals which are the star of the show. It doesn't fade into obscurity by any means, but does a fantastic job of showcasing the star. They both deserve an award." - CGG of SouthofMainstream.com
"...Adam's demo CD is just amazing. It just blows my mind that this isn't released out on CD already somewhere. These are pensive and haunting little folk tunes, compact storytelling at its best. I wouldn't even call them demos really; the songs on the album are sequenced in such a way that it feels so natural. You can tell he thought about the directions in which he wanted the progression of the work to flow... There's nothing amazing that someone made a great demo and no one knows about it. But I can't help but wax poetic when my ears tell me something really good is afoot and I hope that we hear more from Adam Bianchi and home recordists like him." - BY of Shmat Records
"...he paints portraits of drama and high tension with his art rock that is part apartment indie and part Americana honest. Each tune is as genuine as the last and nothing seems forced and ultimately that will be what drives everyone to...see him perform." - J-Sin of Smother.net
