('Paratrooper' features Sean Lennon on the track 'Before the Skies')---PRESS"Percussionists provided driving rhythms...over which Haale's warm, supple voice unfurled like a curlicue of smoke. Her band's amplified rumble served as a reminder of the extent to which rock bands like the Doors and the Velvet Underground turned to the East for their most hypnotic efforts; here their borrowlings were reclaimed with interest."
NEW YORK TIMES"Haale is...a star on the rise. Her first recordings came out in January [2007], and the two five-song EPs show her split musical personality to wonderful effect...her raw sound owes as much to '60s psychedelic rock as it does to the ancient Middle East" WASHINGTON POST"The trio, led by an intoxicating Persian-American singer who gives the band their name, were deep into a tangent that might have slipped from Zep's "Kashmir"...It was apparent these three were spinningout something deeper than a musical performance, something worshipful yet still wholly rock 'n' roll. Haale seem capable of something really special, say a record like Astral Weeks or Dark Side of the Moon, or maybe hallucinatory concert spectacles like the '70s Patti Smith Group. Within them burns the potential to
kick down a bunch of doors of perception. Listen up now and begin being nourished by this music sooner than later." JAMBASEPRESS FOR 'NO CEILING'BOSTON GLOBE
"'No Ceiling' is set to go down as one of this year's most memorable releases...It situates Haale in a particular tradition of female rockers who balance electric-guitar frenzy with the intimacy and alluring elusiveness of poetry." full articleCITYPAGES
"One of the most memorable albums of the young year…a deeply sensual release, powered by the groove and Haale's smoky, honey-thick voice."CHICAGO SUN TIMES, JIM DEROGATIS
"An extraordinarily powerful vocalist. The emotions expressed in Haale's songs are as warm and inviting as the sounds..."CHICAGO FLAME
"Haale is on the verge of redefining the music scene. Songs to check out: "Middle of Fire," "Off Duty Fortune Teller" and "Ay Dar Shekasteh."VAIL DAILY
"If I had to describe the overall tone of "No Ceiling" it would be like making love in a ring of fire while awaiting death at the hands of marauding enemy soldiers. It's equal parts chaos and beauty, a pearl snatched from the mouth of a violent sea.â€GLOBAL RHYTHM
"In every song she creates, Haale makes it difficult to discern where tradition ends and modernity begins -- the indelible mark of truly progressive artistry."BUFFALO RISING
"Equally erotic and enlightening."SECOND SUPPER
"No Ceiling is - and I'm going to capitalize this because it bears emphasizing - A BIG FUCKING ALBUM. The sonics are far more Western than might be expected, though the Persian elements fade skillfully into the songs, giving additional depth to the already deep. The total is greatness, heedless of origin, a silk-sharp explosion, beautiful and monstrous. This is easily in the running for my album of the year.MORE TRACKS TO HEAR AND LYRICS TO READ AT HAALE.COM
