Press

““…The group somehow manages to paradoxically balance informality and aloofness without wearing out their welcome. The band effortlessly gathers acoustic alt-rock and alt-country staples with a bluesy polish that’s coalesced together with Alicia Dara’s sultry lead vocals. Gorgeous imagery and tender, bittersweet stories give their eponymous debut album a sense of exposed honesty and raw legitimacy that most bands have to fight for their entire careers.””

— www.webcutsmusic.com

““This beguiling 9 song album… [takes] you into these electro-acoustic soundscape songs where electric sitar has a place alongside lap steel guitars and strings, plus Hammond organ and electrobeats (the latter from producer Steve Fisk who worked with Nirvana and the Posies, big ticks for both). But there's more going on here than just gentle seduction into intelligent music which at times drifts towards meaningful alt.country””

— Graham Reid, www.elsewhere.co.nz

““Though being produced by the well-know Steve Fisk, who has produced for Nirvana and Pigeonhed, The Volcano Diary, has created their own sound. With beautiful vocal harmonies, and haunting electo-acoustics, their self-titled debut album is quite the introduction to vocalist, Alicia Dara, and her talented bandmates.” ”

— www.staticmultimedia.com

““Their self-titled debut album is the proof that good music is still being made without all that technological tricks that are now part of almost every #1 song. It is definitely a breath of fresh air, taking us to the essence of music where all it matters is the voice and the great melody created by real instruments.””
