Reviews of our newest release “Nine Lucid Dreams” (on Sarathan Records)
YAHOO! - "For downtown hipsters but their reach is decidedly global... [Sarah] Scott's a star in the making, her wailing, bad-girl-longing-for-love allure captivating from start to finish... she transports us to another world, for sure."
AMPLIFIER - “...with their most recent release, Nine Lucid Dreams, the dreamy duo Two Loons For Tea have crafted an album destined to fill every canal in your ears and every room in your residence with their lush beauty”
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER “.. singer-lyricist Sarah Scott and guitarist-composer Jonathan Kochmer perform with an engaging simplicity, their approach is not stripped down. Their subtly atmospheric arrangements already have found the Loons linked to the likes of Massive Attack, Portishead and the Cocteau Twins -- one might add the similarly dreamy duo Mazzy Starr -- and "Dreams" opens on a high note with the moody "Sunset Room,"...
EDGE - “Nine Lucid Dreams is a strong album that gets better with each listen... Nine Lucid Dreams is an example in improvisation, risk-taking, and experimentation - more admirable qualities than sticking with what you know and doing what’s easy. It’s a job well done by an intelligent and talented duo."
Two Loons for Tea are Sarah Scott and Jonathan Kochmer.
Together, Sarah and Jonathan make organic, lush, rich, and innovative music that defies genres and expectations. They break free from the norm while being a pleasure to simply listen to.
Sarah was raised by a free-spirited single mom in such exotic locales as the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, near a nudist colony in the Mountains of Santa Cruz, and in metropolitan New York City. She has integrated the bohemian lifestyle into her own personal take on life, channeling it into her soulful singing.
Jonathan came to music from a different scene: although a life-long musician, he's been academician working in evolutionary biology, climatology, human genetics, Internet development and biostatistics, where he nurtured his attention for detail and a passion for invention.
