Sounds Like
“A layered, delicate take on folk, meticulously arranged with an ear for atmosphere and texture, with surprises unfolding every moment” – XLR8R

“Elegant, expressive” – Washington Times

“Hypnotically compelling” – San Francisco Chronicle

"With their soft voices and crafty arrangements, the music is a sort of airy folk style, not too far from Nick Drake, but with a constantly shifting array of instruments... I really enjoy the feel of this record- it seems they captured perfectly what they do best." - Larry Crane, Tape Op Magazine

"A smooth puree of the epically sweeping soundscapes of Pink Floyd and the catchier acid-indie sensibilities of the Flaming Lips."– LA City Beat

"An album for the ages" - The Oregonian

” Few recent releases approach the textural and musically detailed devotion of Musée Mécanique's debut long-player, Hold This Ghost…masterfully assembled like a musical ship-in-a-bottle via thrift store instruments, castaway equipment, and just about anything else the band could get their hands on.” – Portland Mercury

   About musee mecanique

Hold This Ghost cover art.

“It is [the] ability to viscerally effect an audience that make[s] Musée Mécanique such a powerful, if unusual, folk force. Their shy yet florid debut is tinged with sadness, like a painted carousel sitting empty in winter, mourning for a time that they—or we—never even knew.”

- Rebecca Raber, January 22, 2009 Pitchfork Media
