Praise for
Behind Sapphire:
"Chock full of folk instrumentations and soul-moving vocal melodies, the album is a painting of experiences, faith, and nature...It is without a doubt that the band has what it takes to make the grade and truly make an impression within the Canadian music scene. They are a new generation of young artists who have a clear vision of who they are and what they want to do." - Xu Wang
[The Peak (SFU Newspaper)]
"If you were looking for a soundtrack to your summer, Behind Sapphire may have just made it." ALBUM RATING: 4/5* - Francois Marchand
[Vancouver Sun]
"Behind Sapphire's self-titled album is the perfect summer music, great for any occasion and will especially strike a chord with fans of Walt Disney, The Beatles, John Mayer, Sufjan Stevens, Patrick Watson, Andrew Bird or St.Vincent." - John Tanner
[Vancouver Observer]
"BC CD OF THE WEEK: Behind Sapphire. As well as an attractive package, this duo has made attractive pop. Sometimes cinematic in scope, Behind Sapphire employs instruments as diverse as trombone, ukulele, glockenspiel and vibraphone to create uniquely arranged '80s influenced post new wave songs." - Tom Harrison
[The Province]
"Behind Sapphire immediately won over the capacity crowd with a set that was heart-felt, upbeat, and timeless...
...The band conveyed a comfort with each other as they jumped between lilting melodies and raucous backbeats, always maintaining an element of originality that was refreshing." - Dean Morrison
[Merritt News]
"Since they started playing together about five years ago, Mazankowski’s guitar skills have “improved tenfold,” while the xylophone-like glockenspiel has become the “weapon of choice” for Cassell." - Boaz Joseph
[The Leader Newspaper]
"...they will make your heart feel happy and you will catch yourself humming their tunes for the rest of the day (if not longer)." -
[How I Killed The Scene]
"...their sound was, for lack of a better word, magical." -
