“Can't brush off Monarchs as another "pretty-girl-with-achingly-satisfying-vocals-fronting-tight-indie-outfit" no matter how hard you try.”
-Austinist
“…the poetry flows with the music and evokes a range of conflictedly bittersweet lives and situations a la Lucinda Williams”
-The Birmingham Weekly
“The slow-burning No Depression feel of opener "Go I'll Go" proves Griffin a true-blue Southern soul in lyrics and voice, and her way with words on the title track points to a long line of nomadic singer-songwriters:
-The Austin Chronicle on “Those Words, Those Frames”
“It plays like a summer evening on a back porch with a gaggle of friends – quiet moments of pondering shadows and counting fireflies, parsed by bursts of laughter & rolling in the grass. The woman’s got range on her soul and the trip is just plain fun.”
-KVRX Radio on “Those Words, Those Frames”
Lookin' swanky for the CD release...."The Things You Build Yourself" at Workplay
"Go I'll Go" at The Nick
... I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. I can't stop listening to Here I go Again. ...
