like a fork and a spoon, we belong together.

"Sister Crayon is a young new up'n-comin' gal from Sacto blending the surreal folk/psych as if Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval dove into a stack of Wire mags and came up caked in New Weird pixiedust. A real sweet lilter!" -Rick E. (KDVS)
"Lopez is dynamic.Her lyrics, often honest, heartfelt pleas for reconciliation and acceptance—“How we all fall in love with lavender / how we all fall in love with liars,†she sings on the album’s second-to-last song, “Lavender Liarsâ€â€”hint at the aforementioned vulnerability. And the beats—lo-fi drum-machine samples, odd instrumentations like looped accordion—compliment this openness, rooted in trip-hop and no doubt inspired by the sounds and scenery of her late-’90s teenage upbringing." -Nick Miller (SN&R Margazine)
"Her comfort with exposing a part of herself is felt, and translates well on stage. Her confidence is felt and heard. Her soothing angelic voice soars and once again I am reminded how one can be moved deep inside, how an artist can touch you and make chills run down your spine. Sister Crayon does that." -BayBridged.Com
