Sounds Like
"This is pop music and intelligence, the kind of album you listen to over and over again because you're addicted to the sound and delighted by the poetic imagery. The duo's skillfull blend of electronic and acoustic sounds provides a richly hued backdrop for the poignant emotional content of each song. "Blue Solitaire" pulses with a textural pop sound of the future." Pulse! Magazine
"If the soundtrack to "Twin Peaks" has whetted your appetite for moody, transportive music, you're primed for the debut by The Telling. Imagine these converging rivulets: the gothic allure of early Eurythmics; Berlin's Terri Nunn at her most enigmatic; David Sylvian with the passion meter turned up; Mike Oldfield in a rain forest; and the best ambient/electronic music. The cool pool they form is Blue Solitaire." San Diego Reader
"An unparalled sound ...quite the aural, sensational workout ...the divinely cerebral group of the future." Currents
"The Telling has created a vibrant and tantalizing effort highlighted by Sheri's haunting lead vocals ...the band's intimate and compelling sound lures you in and keeps you hooked." Friday Morning Quarterback
"Sheri sings in a voice so pure and pretty it almost hurts.Wait until the title cut and the soaring, majestic A Mile Of Mile Broken Stone reveal their breadth and depth to you. Then you'll be using words like exquisite, tender and heartwrenching...." Entertainment Magazine
"I wouldn't be surprised if alot of people try to unsuccessfully copy this style of music." Inside News
"They have co-written, produced, played and arranged this debut album. It begins with the remarkably haunting work, True Gold, a slow, melodic meditation on love and lies. The chord progressions are complex ...Further. the lyrical content of all the songs here is unusually sophisticated. Of special interest here is an instrumental cut, Vessel , a sort of Bela Bartok-meets-Samuel Barber piece. The Swansons are to be commended for this attempt at bridging the gap between popular and serious music." L.A. Music Scene
"Evocative of Kate Bush but earthier. The music is gentle but pulsates with a glowing strength. With each listen, it increases its appeal." B-Side Magazine
"Alternative pop-rock at its best" Boston Weekly
"They've been compared to artists like Kate Bush and The Blue Nile ...yet the atmospheric pop sound of The Telling is theirs alone. Their music is cinematic as is their performance. The Telling are a breed of music unexplored by most, but once exposed, people never forget." River City Rocks
