   About Agent Ribbons


..
We have opened/toured with Wanda Jackson, Old Time Relijun, Cake, Scout Niblett, Brazilian Girls, Elf Power, Oakley Hall, The Detroit Cobras, Jennifer Gentle, The Dodos and an Elvis Impersonator in Nebraska! Woohoo!
Please check out our new spread in Lula Magazine with The Fiery Furnaces, The Kills, Black Black, Feist and The Like!
Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming UK tour, a feature in Performer Magazine, and one of our new Seven Inch Project songs on an upcoming compilation for Under the Radar Magazine!

"...On Time Travel and Romance is one wonderful tune after another--the kind of songs that are instantly lodged in your head like some great classic you've always loved...the CD's sparse arrangements and lo-fi production are perfect for Natalie's sing-songy compositions, which she belts out with a huge and expressive voice. Although Agent Ribbons takes on many varying genres, they manage to inflect them all with an almost vaudeville-era sensibility...musically and thematically. The CD is fearlessly romantic, magically childlike, and even morbidly twisted--sometimes all in one song...the album introduces a colorful cast of characters: big-hearted hookers, a boy made of wood, a lonely young bride (who happens to be deceased) and oh so many more...it's a joy from beginning to end." -Alive and Kicking
