MayaFlyer's sound is psychorootsafolkadelic - imagine Led Zeppelin marrying Heart, having an affair with Mahavishnu, and then giving birth to Metric / Inara George / Sia. Combine that with indie rock pragmaticism and you've got MayaFlyer's slightly dysfuntional family (aren't we all from one) of ambient sounds, crunchy loud guitar missives to the pope, sensitive (slightly) puritanical fingerstyle guitar, harmonium, oboe, piano and more - all supporting a distinct female vocal lead.

There is different stuff here for those who are looking for a change. The description they use for their music, "psychorootsafolkadelic," believe it or not, fits. Although the CD is a bit difficult to pin down to one particular style, it is a magic carpet ride, high on the wings of Lisa Hirst's voice. --February 2006, Indie-Music.com .
Mayaflyer has created a sound that is comparable to that of the most powerful female-fronted acts in the last decade (Sarah MacLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Paula Cole, 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant); in doing so, they have become one of my favorite groups to hear! The band is a great collaboration of professional musicians that play well, write well and market themselves well! If they can just get their songs into the minds and ears of a listener, they are almost certain to convert that person to a fan! --December 2005, MidwestBands.com .
