Sounds Like: like a firecraker in your hands, playing tic tac toe in your guest living room, dining with the finest, but not the furthest. fellow in the leaves, you've never heard this. crashing to the bone of your breastplate, til late...
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."
