press quotes
"Front woman and violinist Lexi Cardenas leads the journey into the eternal uncertainty on the EP Blooms – all the longing and bittersweet emotion tied to love’s soaring peaks and tumultuous valleys." - Laurie Gallardo, KUTX
"They take big steps, they highlight the beauty of classical instruments too often neglected while stirring up passion-filled lyrics that shake your core." - Track Rambler
"Cardenas has shifted towards an energetic indie pop sound emphasizing the connection of the entire band, particularly on new single “Can’t Catch Me Now.” The lush and romantic single would be right at home on 4AD’s early ’90s roster, with its yearning strings and sweetly rousing vocals. It’s a perfect marriage of Cardenas’ orchestral ambition and her Mighty Mountain era populism, showcasing the allure of her voice as well as the chemistry of her band." - Ovrld
"The songs are introspective, melancholic, and contemplative all in the same breath." - Madness to Creation
"Striking vocal nuances compliment caring lyrics, creating an affable pop-friendly radio sound during the single “Can’t Catch Me Now,” from Bleached Roses. Complete with synth and string section, the smooth chord changes, gentle resonant refrain and general rhythmic flow only add to a vibrant melody." - Music Interview Magazine
