Press

"Singing rock/country songs with the clear and sultry voice that Lana Del Rey pretends to have, Vissia delivers pearls of wisdom for your foolish ears."

— The Hypetree Blog (New York)

"Alberta singer/songwriter Alex Vissia writes good songs and has a fine voice to do it with. She's young, and is definitely going places."

— Kootenay Co-op Radio

"The Eva Cassidy-meets-Serena Ryder vocals that propel her debut, are those of a mere 22 year old... It's hard not to notice the intensely personal nature of songs like Blue Flowers and Ghostly Yearning, which are powered by her rich, mature vocals."

— Matthew Bisson, Sound in the City Blog

"...This sweet heart will croon you into falling in love with her."

— Jonathen MacDonald, Stampede Six

"When I first started listening to A Lot Less Gold I thought it would be another generic folk album. But, upon hearing the chorus of “Get Well Soon” and “Ursa,” I was convinced otherwise."

— Billy Davey, The Meliorist

"[Alex] reminded me a lot of Serena Ryder with her beautifully warbling voice. She showed some superb vocal range and played some catchy gutiar as her band kept step behind her. They took five for a spell as she donned an acoustic guitar and showed she could carry things on her own."

— Richard Amery, L.A. Beat

“She’s got this sweet, soulful voice, she’s an amazing songwriter… folk rock I suppose you’d call her (she didn’t even touch an acoustic in the first set), but yet it seems like there’s a ‘rocker chick’ inside her somewhere, maybe just a swig of whiskey away. I absolutely loved her music, and am definitely psyched to listen to the album in the coming days.”

— Michael Senchuk, New Music Michael

“The jazzy "Goodnight, Moonlight" is reminiscent of Billie Holiday's sound with a hint of Adele in Vissia's new, sophisticated, grown up sound.”

— Brandi Morin, Stony Plain Reporter/Grove Examiner

“Let me start off by saying that I think Alex Vissia is pretty amazing. I was lucky enough to master her soon to be released disc – A Lot Less Gold. Her songs are great and she has a fantastic voice. Make sure you check her out.”

— Terry Tran, Terry Tran Recording/The Audio Department
