Bio: Grammy winner Patrick Robinson has always composed intriguing, intense music and, since 1998, Irene Lambrou is the lucky torchy-jazz-rock singer who gets to add words and voice to some of it.

“The quintet Medea plays dreamy elegant pop highlighted by the burnished alto of lead singer Irene Lambrou.”

— Michael Harrington, The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Fronted by the throaty, dramatic thrush Irene Lambrou, Medea will put a spell on you with their dreamy music I’d dub ‘goth-elegant.’… Lush keyboard flourishes, buzzy Jorma Kaukonen-style guitar and a slick rhythm section add to a production sheen so finessed a major label could put out this set with pride. Fans of classically-influenced popsters such as October Project, (early) King Crimson and Renaissance will like ‘em. So, too, will devotees of Heart, Indigo Girls and Sade. Grade: A.”

— Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News

“Lambrou's rich colorful singing voice works powerfully with Robinson's carefully constructed chord progressions and the rest of the band's polished musicianship.”

— Claudia Ginanni, The Legal Intelligencer

“...dreamy, reflective and sultry, its jazzy, progressive-tinged pop best played in a dark room late at night. The Miracle Line is the extremely accessible follow-up to Dreams & Revelations, which received glowing Philadelphia-area reviews and radio airplay on WXPN 88.5 FM....”

— Andy Vineberg, Bucks County Courier Times

“Irene is a captivating vocalist. Her sultry vocals heat the music to a passionate degree. The musicians ride her waves creating an album rich in dynamics...”

— Songwriters Monthly

“The Miracle Line has a clean, folky, XPN vibe, full of ethereal lyrical ruminations and layered harmonies. Like the Nields on Zoloft...”

— Pat Rapa, Philadelphia CityPaper

“The nicest ballad-band in town? That could be Medea... dreamy but sinister electro-jazzy folk..”

— a.d. amorosi, Philadelphia CityPaper

“[T]heir songs evoke a more ethereal feel with a progressive edge . . Lambrou's silky vocals glide over each peak and cascade into the forest floor like a misty spiritual visit from the dreamworld . . Robinson brings flight to the music as a hawk riding the thermals, high coasting rides with wings outstretched into twisting dives for prey . . .Marrazzo weaves cello-like fretless waterflow over riverstones which at times allows a little whitewater to appear . . .Ghantt calls out from the darkness of the woods with mysterious cries and wails . . .[Their] music does possess a refreshing uniqueness . . .Longing, frustration, discovery and pontification alike live here.”
