About
about the new record... "The rustling sun-kissed beauty and easy charm of Regina Hexaphone's folky pop echo the sweet, generous vibe of frontwoman Sara Bell. Just as a wayward smile from someone attractive can brighten your day, nothing feels quite as welcoming as Hexaphone's soothing sonic embrace. A preview of their forthcoming album, Into Your Sleeping Heart, is impressive, indeed, from the nomadic surf-inflected pop of "Waiting for the Wind" to the Dresden-bound gypsy bounce of "The Fortyniner." Elsewhere, they work in a hazy, pillowy drift of receding detail, like a watercolor pulling away and over the horizon." --Chris Parker, Independent Weekly
about Regina Hexaphone:.."Regina Hexaphone are fronted by Sara Bell (Angels of Epistemology, Dish, Shark Quest), who has been raising the level of musical discourse in the Triangle via her playing for the past 20 years or so. Jerry Kee plays drums; his Duck-Kee studio has probably been responsible for more local records in my collection than any other single studio. Chris Clemmons was in the Bettys with Jerry, and played with Sara in Dana & Karen Kletter's band. Nathan Brown fronted Laramie UK. Margaret White was in the Comas & the Carbines, and nowadays is usually too busy touring with folks like Sparklehorse, Cat Power, and Portastatic to be able to make all the gigs. They are a bona-fide supergroup of folks who're far too modest to ever think of themselves that way." --Ross Grady, the alt.music.chapel-hill guide to the triangle
about 2004's "The Beautiful World"... "a rich, sonorous excursion through gentle, loping melodies guided by Sara Bell's dreamy vocals" (Chris Parker, Independent Weekly); "a pastoral dream of evocative imagery and subtle style" (Grayson Currin, Independent Weekly); "a band that even on the worst of days would be able to convince you that it is a beautiful world indeed" (Jenn Young, Daily Athaneum, UWV); "beautiful and mesmerizing to listen to" (Jeri Rowe, gotriad.com); "an intriguing cohesive collection of off-centre indie-folk with interesting touches" (americana-uk.com); "lang uitgesponnen nummers met een heerlijke cadans en hypnotiserend effect" (top 2004, altcountry.nl).
