"a cross between Gillian Welch, Ma Rainey and trip-hop" SL CityWeekly--William Athey

Nominated for "Best Acoustic 2007"--SL CityWeekly

CD REVIEWS..................................................... ..

"listen to the wind" a five-track EP of hushed, haunting acoustic melodies recorded before the ink was dry. Raw, spare, beautiful and honest, this album might just change your life. At least, for a little while. SL CityWeekly --Jamie Gadette

Calico Sea (nominated for Best Local CD 2006)"a compelling full-length release, from country rock to dustbowl ballads to torch songs to garage swing, Ohlwiler’s deceptively delicate warble and Prill’s masterful guitar strokes mold 11 tunes into their own uniquely cool vision thing: The Torrey Sound?" SL CityWeekly --Bill Frost

Calico Sea "These 11 songs linger in the memory like a half-remembered dream." --THE CATALYST

Pave The Planet "the most original and tunefully eccentric CD produced locally in years. It’s not folk, country or rock, but far more. It holds up to multiple spins."--Bill Frost

Record Label: musilla
Type of Label: Unsigned
