Elisa Nicolas- "Elisa Nicolas writes and sings some of the classiest and breeziest music we have yet to hear... Nicolas sings her lush melodies with a subtle strength and [her songs] hypnotize as they wind as tight as a boa constrictor, to finish off the metaphor, they'll leave you breathless."-Richard Byrne of the St Louis Riverfront Times.

The Receiver-"The Receiver is multi-instrumentalist Casey Cooper and his equally talented brother, drummer Jesse. Decades itself is a glimmering album, its many charms gauged to engage both musical masters and the masses alike. A number of the musical themes and progressions are returned to across the set, but each time in a different mode, some subtly changed, others more radically altered in tempo, arrangement and key. The trained musician will inevitably find these variations scintillating and inspired, but in the grander scheme, especially with the careful sequencing, it creates a sublime whole comprised of musical currents that continually ebb and flow."-All Music Guide.
