“Matteah Baim’s sound world is monumental”-Mojo
"Baim has a mesmerizing, velvety voice that dips and soars in accordance to her atypical
phrasing, and at times it sounds as though she's singing a lullaby straight into your ear"
-Pitchfork
"Harbors a commitment to unfettered trans-dimensionalism"- Decibel
"It's one of those sounds akin to early Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen or Nico, in so much that it's unique and fresh and seems as natural as air, yet only vaguely resembles the other elements surrounding it at the record store"
-JamBase
"Well-deep, webbed permutations are a standard component of Baim's architectural sense of composition, offering a stunning voice fitting accompaniment" -Paper Thin Walls
Matteah Baim lived and died sometime between 1979 and 2079. She noted that the effort to work shone a dim distant brighter then the sun light on those 100 odd years. What goodness could be known in such a diabolical soul?*
