Some reviews of cellophane rain....
RAVE MAGAZINE
Shoegazing pop with its head in the clouds
"Listening to this album from Brisbane duo Cellophane Rain is like being blanketed in a warm shimmering cloud, floating in a haze of entrancing pop. That said, this self-produced debut is far from lightweight, grounded by some fantastic songwriting and musicianship. Showing an affinity for bands such as the Sundays, My Bloody Valentine, and Blonde Redhead, the material ranges from the breezy opener Good Morning Light, to the darker, psychedelic Orchid (the album highlight), to delicate miniatures like Blue. Much care and attention has been given to the record's production, which, although quite dense, provides a subtle, atmospheric cushion for main vocalist Laura Ferris (who sounds like a mixture of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and Kazu Makino from Blonde Redhead) ...this is a great debut from a pair of creative even sometimes surprising composers. A group to watch out for."
thanks for the kudos.. your sound has a particular nostalgia that i really enjoy. the singer is wonderful too. although, the tracks were unplayable except for sunshower. otherwise, i dig it a lot..
Hello...Thank you very much..I know the band comments can be pretty cheesy, but we had to say Hi to all our new friends...since you and others gave us a chance...and we care very much about people giving us their time...thanks again
