Pitchfork

Lullaby for Liquid Pig is deceptively potent; in just thirty minutes it divines your most closely held memories, guiding you farther and farther back with endless, heartbreaking choruses.

Filter

Disturbing, intense and emotionally stark. [#5, p.89]

E! Online

Totally depressing and totally engaging.

Blender

Unashamed candor often spells dreary self-indulgence. In Germano's insightful hands, it's fascinating and strangely exhilarating. [May 2003, p.119]

Q Magazine

A haunting, left-field album of some class. [Jun 2003, p.96]

PopMatters

Some of her finest work to date.

Flak Magazine

The devotion to setting such teetering to song is the album's strength. No matter the tune, Germano's pipes and strings swoon strong, hovering ominous and knowing like her floating magician's assistant body on the album's cover.

Splendid

Does nothing if not cement her place as one of the most unique, intelligent and subtly disarming artists in music today.

Ink 19

Vague and awkward.

Uncut

She still refuses to knock up any memorable tunes, but arthouse divas thus obsessed with ghosts and personal (if ill-described) demons are always fascinating. [Jun 2003, p.109]

All Music Guide

One of Lisa Germano's most accessible works yet.

Mojo

She breathes the vocals as if she were drifting in and out of death's door. [May 2003, p.95]

beautiful

Benjamin Bunny gave it an 8:
Nothing too new or suprising for Ms. Germano-- "Lullaby" plays exactly as expected: a sturdy collection of woozy, lovely, gloomy chamber pop.

best of artist

It's no GEEK THE GIRL, but then again, what is?
