Some press:
'A flame of a voice.' - The New York Times
'***** (Five Stars!) Pick of the Month!' - Independent Songwriter
'Elaine's vocals are breathy, fluid, she floats from alto to soprano, blues to opera with incredible ease.'
- Indie Music
'The heart and soul of Lachica's music draws from 4AD's glory days, when bands like Cocteau Twins dominated the ethereal landscape (with) atmosphere, drama, and melancholia.' - Opuszine
'Lachica's voice is a marvel to behold.' - Exclaim
'It is hard not to fall under the spell of Lachica's alluring voice...not one to stick to conventional song structures and patterns, Lachica has created songs that color the outer edges of life.'
- Music Monthly
