A check of the website and all becomes clear. The lead singer, artist Misha Bittleston moved to New York from UK via California, to make this music in response to auditory hallucinations. Luckily the result is not as scary as it could be with a good mix of light and shade...”

“Subtly intricate arrangements. Real steady beats and cool bass lines set up nice for the ballady lyrics and melodies. Good stuff. ”

— Jason Chu, Canadian Music Examiner

“Underground's ambiance is artistically achieved through diverse factors, not force fed as genre expectation. The guitar rhythms are tinkly and nicely meshed. A very promising first cut for Eight Two.”

— Rodrigo Toscano, iTunes
