“We’re not talking about the same four plodding beats to a bar, instead there are interlocking sprinkling patterns (more Steve Reich than anything else) complex rich arrangements that share some DNA with the work of Sufjan Stevens. Each song is a giddy whirl of instrumentation that never forgets why most people listen to music – they want to be able to pick out a tune....Each track privileges a different element and reveals something unique...Spitzer seems willingly perverse and awkward and at the same time, warm and open. It is the combination of these qualities that opens up the music and lets the listener in.”

“Spitzer meets the challenge of creating a huge amount of musical variety in the narrow scope of a minute-long ringtone by altering every subtle musical detail at her disposal. She uses many odd beat patterns, like groupings of five and seven, to provide unsettling undertones to otherwise generic melodies.”
