One of Lisa Germano's most accessible works yet.
-
BlenderUnashamed candor often spells dreary self-indulgence. In Germano's insightful hands, it's fascinating and strangely exhilarating. [May 2003, p.119]
-
Totally depressing and totally engaging.
-
FilterDisturbing, intense and emotionally stark. [#5, p.89]
-
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.
-
Vague and awkward.
-
MojoShe breathes the vocals as if she were drifting in and out of death's door. [May 2003, p.95]
-
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.
-
Some of her finest work to date.
-
Q MagazineA haunting, left-field album of some class. [Jun 2003, p.96]
-
Does nothing if not cement her place as one of the most unique, intelligent and subtly disarming artists in music today.
-
UncutShe 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]
