“The Lucid Culture blog describes it as : ''it’s a creepy masterpiece of current-day psychedelic rock. Incorporating elements of art-rock, gypsy punk and noir cabaret, Brooklyn band Aunt Ange’s new album Olga Walks Away is trippy, and strange, and memorably tuneful.'' You can decide for your self during the NBTMusicRadio's two Midnight Madness Shows Midnight Berlin time (6 PM New York) and also at Midnight New York Time http://nbtmusicradio.playtheradio.com/”

“Aunt Ange on the Radio Show "E.V.'s Underground" CKCU 93.1 F.M.!!! Follow the link to hear the songs they played!”

— E.V., Queen of Doom, CKCU 93.1 F.M. " Brink of War Show"

"....Get into this tale ASAP – it’s a record you’ll play several times over, completely through. If you’re here on the east coast, check out https://www.facebook.com/auntangemusic for a list of show dates and catch Aunt Ange live. But right now, start your new year off right by getting into so much more in the XXQ’s below. XXQs: Aunt Ange (Answered by frontman Patrick O’Brien)...."

— Richie Frieman, Pen's Eye View

“A lush version of experimental and art influenced psyche-rock, Aunt Ange take a very unique approach here, often sounding haunting in a cinematic way. Heavy on the reverb and keys, there’s an endless supply of atypical instruments used on this highly meticulous disc that took nearly 2 years to make. If Thom Yorke and Tim Burton started a band, it might sound like this. Not merely music, this is a serious production from a wealth of talent. Great packaging with the physical CD – more like a book than the standard jewel case.”

— Tom Haugen, Inforty

“For any fan of Perfume Genius, here's Aunt Ange. There's an acute sense of dread following every twist and turn through new record 'Olga Walks Away.' Essentially a document on loneliness seen through the eyes of Olga's pain. From the lush violins, accordions and toy pianos of opener 'Black Funeral Dress,' to the stomping march of 'Velvet Sidewalks,' Aunt Ange takes you from the funeral to parade grounds from deep within the psyche of their absorbing subject. ”

— Mike Levine, Aunt Ange- Dressed for a Funeral

“Art comes to life in the work of childhood friends Patrick O’Brien and Jack Kearney in Aunt Ange. Their blend of art, storytelling and music is what makes their style unique. After adding bassist Adam Kushner and saxophonist Austin Reese in later years, they expanded their musical horizons. Mixing rock and the arts is what made music listeners take notice. In support of their latest release, Olga Walks Away, you can see Aunt Ange’s representation of the human mind on the road at Sullivan Hall, in New York, on Sept. 28.”

— Sara Fazio, The Aquarian Weekly

“New York Music Daily has ranked Olga Walks Away at 29 for the 50 Best Albums of the 2011. ”

— New York Music Daily

"...it’s a creepy masterpiece of current-day psychedelic rock. Incorporating elements of art-rock, gypsy punk and noir cabaret, Brooklyn band Aunt Ange’s new album Olga Walks Away is trippy, and strange, and memorably tuneful. It seems to be a chronicle of an acid trip, but it might be something else entirely: there’s obviously a lot of symbolism in the lyrics. Sometimes these are sharp and literate; other times they seem to be going for a more stereotypical mid-60s surrealism. Likewise, the music draws heavily on 60s psychedelia, with layers of reverb guitar, melodic basslines, sweeping keyboards, but also accordion, occasional horns, and a carnivalesque feel that at its most frenetic brings to mind World Inferno or Botanica..."

— Delarue, Lucid Culture

“Indie Rock Cafe has included "To the Sun and Die" in their The Last Blast of Indie Summer Songs mix.”

— Indie Rock Cafe

“Aunt Ange carry the "independent" label in the truest sense of the word: a carefully constructed, unique collective intent on crafting music with texture: layer upon layer of instrumentation and voice that remain distinct despite contributing to a singular vision...Olga Walks Away is awash in diverse instrumentation and rich harmonies, an eclectic folk collection from the other side of a dream.”

— Geek Monkey , Geek Monkey

“If you’re a casual music fan not looking to put too much thought into an album, “Olga Walks Away” might not be right for you. However, if you are looking for a more cerebral listening experience where you will discover something new with each listen, give this record a spin.”

— Rich Nardo, Examiner

“New York gypsy folk act Aunt Ange are currently giving away the track "Circles" from their upcoming 3rd album "Olga Walks Away" in exchange for signing up for their mailing list. You can sign up via the reverbnation widget here or on myspace. They will also be selling the first single "Crucify" digitally and at all performances starting with their July 29th show at the Charleston in Williamburg with Ellis Ashbrook and Survivalsuit. In case you haven't heard of Aunt Ange yet, here is a music video for the track "Raining Ashes" form their previous album Apathia.”

— Deli Magazine NYC

"Their sound is super unique and very moving. Influenced by bands such Radiohead and Elliot Smith, you can really feel the music in your bones and your soul when these guys play; not to mention the feel-good- feeling you feel from just being in their presence!"

— Linda Swain, Peru/MilkBoy Benefit Concert- A Success!

“Aunt Ange can procure him some great pleasure.”

— Leigh Jerman, Village Voice
