   About the casting couch
5 SONGS and ROW YOUR BOAT now available from I Eat Records

"Make room at the table for the Casting Couch. Athens, GA. emigré Wendy Mitchell pits her stew of lyrical switchbacks up against a piquant blend of post-graduate pop and erudite twang to deliver a punch. The Couch's elaborate, frayed-suit arrangements incorporate horns, accordion, steel guitar, and melodica as fancy dictates, while Mitchell's vocals alternate between the breezy wit on the title track and genuine jukebox tear-jerk..." -Austin Chronicle

"...["Row Your Boat"] its a full-on indie-pop piece with some songs that Stephen Merritt of the Magnetic Fields might be proud of having written. Its also probably the only album reviewed on this site that either shares a lyric with a song on the Grease soundtrack (hopelessly devoted to you) or finishes with a (seemingly) drunken bierkeller singalong..." -Americana UK

"Indie hipster kids who wouldn't be caught dead listening to alt-country will be pleased, as will your run of the mill twang fan." -Songs Illinois

"Every song on Row Your Boat , no matter how simple it seems at first, reveals layers the more you listen. Layers of meaning, layers of sound, and emotional layers, too. It's a fun album, light in tone, yet there's a hefty emotional and intellectual power to it as well. It's that rare album that's filled with so much hooks and textures, questions and puzzles, tears and smiles yet you always end up wanting more, ready to hear it again." -Erasing Clouds

"["5 Songs"] is easily the best local release of the year... about as brilliant as bunch of folks just kicking it in the South could do." -Exoduster.com

"...songs like "Flying Machine" and "Copper Girl" are bound for greatness." -Austin Chronicle

I wore my t-shirt today. Two people commented on it, I told both of them that you were a kick ass band from Austin, and directed them to your web site.
