"A female-fronted The Clientele with a slightly more American brand of melancholy."
-Filter Magazine
"Suki Ewers has spent her career perfecting a glorious, countrified strand of dream-pop as part of bands Mazzy Star, Opal and Anemone, and this new Kramer-produced solo outing is comparable with the slowcore loveliness of Low, the stargazing Nashville sounds of Cortney Tidwell, and most obviously, the opiated balladry of former bandmate Hope Sandoval, particularly on the brilliant opener 'Time After Time'. The songwriting and production are in perfect harmony, sounding like a pedal steel-toting Velvet Underground on 'All Day Long', whilst spouting blasts of echoing guitar distortion and searing synthesizer on 'This Must Be Heaven'. Sidestepping the dream-pop pitfalls, Ewers never hides her songs - or for that matter her vocals - behind the array of studio techniques and effects that help shape this album, and Kind Of Hazy resounds far more clearly than its title might have you believe." -boomkat
Greetings Suki! I am in Milwaukee (Sussex) right now. I auditioned twice in Chicago last Saturday for America's Got Talent and I think that two is better than one!
I have been told that they "like my story" and that I will be notified as soon as possible about whether or not I will be asked to audition again.
I have a really good feeling about this, because I was interviewed outside the building before I even entered... I sang a line or two for that camera and I think "someone" saw that I could actually sing right away. The director for the promos had me right up front and I have posted this link on my facebook page for it.
This is the local news coverage and I am in photo #11 in the lower left hand corner. My flag is covering a portion of my face to help conceal my inner beauty.
I tried to apologize to all the singers I met there about having to knock them off in order to win it all. I need this bit of money and fleeting fame to be able to marry the woman I have loved all my life since high school. Her name is Jacqueline Matchett and she lives in Northampton, MA now. She has two adopted children from India and a mean ex husband. I want to be her knight in shining armor for the rest of my life and on into eternity. I think God likes this idea and has blessed me so far. He knows I want to provide for ALL my children.
I want to make up for not spending my life with J like I should have. I also want to apologize to all the other women in my life for wasting their time AND mine. The only good thing to come from all that time has been my four fine sons.
THANKS for being my cousin! Please vote for me when I get on the TV show!! I already know I will win this thing if I get half a chance.</div&g
