Capades is a beauteous amalgam of conscientious tunes that make you think as much as they make you bop. - LAist
“The Miranda July of postmodern quirk-pop.” Blackbook
With melody lines that hardly sit still, lyrics rich in wordplay and a sprinkling of sound effects you might hear in a rural backyard, Lilly’s compositions manage to come off at once winsome and wily, and if you don’t pay attention to the affectations in her airy vocals, you might mistake an open heart for a bleeding one. - buzzbands.la
The album is clever without resorting to irony, smart without a hint of pretension, and swooningly pretty in the least obvious of ways. - Prefix
Shape-shifting swirl of jazzy piano tinckles, noisy guitar squall, airy vocals and space-age synth squiggles… - Nylon Magazine
...Under a sprightly, whimsical layer-cake of pianos, synths, and budget drum-machine skitters (provided by a slew of like-minded pals), Lilly's work takes on a circus-esque, twirling quality with its animated, bubbly instrumentation and varied lyrical topics, from lovers to gardens, and beyond. - SPIN.com
Thank you all so much for your music. It truly is wonderful...and I look forward hearing much more. It is always refreshing to see real artists do still exist.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm really feeling your music. It's beautiful and awesome! Hope you make it over to Chicago one of these days, 'cause I'll totally be there.
I really really wanted to come to your show last night, but a beastly cough kept me home. :( Hope you play LA again soon - I've been waiting eagerly to see you again since your Echo show with Juliette a few months back!
