Jessica Sligter´s songs share some of the Old European charm of femm-folk singer Josephine Foster, at times haunted lullaby, at others operatic dreamscape. There´s also a Scott Walker-like attention to detail in the production, embedding distant cries and dull knocks into the fabric of the songs in ways that catch the ear by surprise. It´s a deceptively sophisticated suite of songs.

Uncut: "a fluid, compelling and boldly imaginative piece of work"

The Wire: "this is songwriting and arrangement of rare invention"

BBC Review: "Deliriously expressive and occasionally brilliant"Mojo Magazine: “Sligter´s sinuous, torchlike songs shift from soft to harsh – not jarringly like the Pixies´ loud-quite template, but sneakily and softly. But it´s her voice, lyrics and the overall atmosphere that mark this as something special.”

Mojo: "Innovatively arranged, her songs are eccentric but curiously compelling distillations of pre-war balladry, folk song and jazz.”

Jazzwise: “Sligter´s songs share some of the Old European charm of femm-folk singer Josephine Foster, at times haunted lullaby, at others operatic dreamscape. There´s also a Scott Walker-like attention to detail in the production, embedding distant cries and dull knocks into the fabric of the songs in ways that catch the ear by surprise.
