"Local singer-songwriter Leah Siegel is developing a serious buzz with her solid songwriting chops, thoughtful lyrics and a voice that sounds a bit like Chan Marshall imagining how Jeff Buckley might interpret Billie Holiday. Unquestionably one to watch." Time Out New York
"Leah Siegel is a gifted singer with a voice that can morph from a sweet warble to a harder edged growl. Little Mule is a collection of intimate and elegantly crafted songs that play like an artfully imagined diary." NPR

The record is powerful...you put out an EP a few years ago; I was not aware of that, or you, until about a month ago producer Kim came in one Saturday and she was just so full of enthusiasm. She had wandered into some bar or something and you were playing. And she said, "You gotta hear this woman," and she was right! ...And now that I am experiencing you live in the studio, my mouth is hanging open as well!”
“As soon as I heard (Little Mule,) I looked at Kim and I said, "Yeah you’re absolutely right." And it was like goosebump time. Because you don’t hear that special thing hitting you over the head immediately, all that often. You know? And that’s what you got, and that’s why you’re here tonight.”
Vin Scelsa, WFUV during July 8th performance
"The approach of (Little Mule) is ambitious, with its eccentric breathy melodies, unexpected time changes and unabashed gut-slashing poetry... “Sea Dragon” twists a riff from Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren,” and “Lemon” melds Television dissonance with a hint of jazz. In “The Motorcycle Song,” a gentle 3/4 lilt erupts into an epic wave of distortion under the lyric “We dared to catch the bullet of time between our teeth.” Leonard Cohen-esque acoustic songs dance the edge of melodrama, and dim Lynchian imagery haunts every corner." David Wildman, The Weekly Dig
