Reviews

"Though most of Quitzow’s recorded work—a whimsical, homemade blend of classical, electronic and pop—maintains a skeletal synth feel, her approach to songwriting heavily reflects the collage aesthetic favored that the late-career Beatles impressed upon her at a young age." Full article here...http://newyorkpress.com/20/20/music/music.cfm (Saby Reyes-Kulkarni, New York Press.)

“Juggling mind-blowing moog/rhodes/bass while singing,” (SXSW festival guide.)

"Erica Q rocks the mic like an ethereal hybrid of Jeff Buckley, Siouxsie Sioux, and Toni Halliday." (Summer Burkes, The San Francisco Bay Guardian.)

"crookedly tasty electro pop from New York - rip the slightly scatty, woozy, light headedly kooky and chirpy ’peanut’ or the equally tasty and audaciously infectious ’sponsor’ where Erica Quitzow purrs, coos and seduces breathlessly - a kind of playful cobra killer if you like." (Loosing Today)

“If you prefer your pop not to rock your belief system, then I’d advise skipping this record.” ( Veronique Chavilier, Bluerailroad Magazine.)

"There's no predicting what strange, thought-provoking, beautiful noises might be lurking around Quitzow's studio, readying themselves for the journey inside your skull and preparing to roll around on your tympanic membrane." (Sharon Nichols, The Chronogram.)

"It's hard to tell exactly what kind of instruments and/or contraptions she is using to make all of the sounds on her stormy, explosive new solo album, but the results are definitely tons of free-spirited fun. Erica Quitzow is a crazy and talented lady." (Urban Tulsa Weekly)

“combining the fun of Peaches with the intelligence of Lori Anderson” (Eric Layer, from a well written email.)

There's a really cool write up of my first record by Veronique Chevalier at this magazine....
