“Dreamy and imaginative collection of soothing and beautifully delivered sound that melts into your inner core and transports you into a world where only good things happen. Just imagine biting into a chocolate bar when you were a kid and that’s exactly the same feeling you’ll get when you listen”
“mesmerising, intertwining rhythms, timbres and textures elevate the debut offering from Weather Pending above the level of potentially ambient fusion pop to a much higher plane. The forecast is most definitely bright thanks to this soft little ray of sunshine. ”
“Catchy, ethereal songs; grooving bass and drums; unique, often Rhodes-like rhythm guitar playing; and the distinctive and sultry vocals of Janie Oliver mark the debut release of this San Francisco group.”
"Weather Pending has put together a decadent delight that is as pleasant to listen to as a moped is fun to ride."
“Janie Oliver has a voice so sweet and warm it’s just got to be fattening. . .Blending smooth and sultry bass lines with toned-down clicks and high-hats, the trio captures the hip, downtown vibe of coffeehouse jazz while leaving plenty of room for Oliver’s honey-dipped vocals to drip through.”
“Janie Oliver's lead vocals warm, chill, breeze, shower, and stream through the music like a climate unto themselves. . .the band is just as adaptable, building upon a hybrid framework of lounge, soul, and electronica. . .An impressive first effort from a fresh San Francisco trio.”
“Genre splicing bunch of youngsters mix the things they like . . .youthful cool to bring a chanteuse to the pomo crew. In college?, too hip for the room?, need something to express how you feel? Call your campus station and have them give you a taste. ”
“Weather Pending, the music video features scenes around San Francisco, a nice example of working with your city or town's natural sites as a set. We salute this band, and any, willing to take their instruments out on a rowboat in the middle of a lake.”
