10.01 "Wendy Ohlwiler = Joni Mitchell + Jefferson Airplane + Loretta Lynn... more portishead than Janis Joplin. Country western, folk, rock and jazz, which if you think about it, all have the blues as their common denominator" SLUG.--Spencer Jenkins
"a cross between Gillian Welch, Ma Rainey and trip-hop" SL CityWeekly--William Athey
Nominated for "Best Acoustic 2007"--SL CityWeekly
CD REVIEWS.......................................................
"listen to the wind" a five-track EP of hushed, haunting acoustic melodies recorded before the ink was dry. Raw, spare, beautiful and honest, this album might just change your life. At least, for a little while. SL CityWeekly --Jamie Gadette
Calico Sea (nominated for Best Local CD 2006)"a compelling full-length release, from country rock to dustbowl ballads to torch songs to garage swing, Ohlwiler’s deceptively delicate warble and Prill’s masterful guitar strokes mold 11 tunes into their own uniquely cool vision thing: The Torrey Sound?" SL CityWeekly --Bill Frost
Calico Sea "These 11 songs linger in the memory like a half-remembered dream." --THE CATALYST
Pave The Planet "the most original and tunefully eccentric CD produced locally in years. It’s not folk, country or rock, but far more. It holds up to multiple spins."--Bill Frost | | Record Label | musilla | | Type of Label | Major |
