On their first LP, Slings & Arrows, the band layers gorgeous vocal melodies and reverb-drenched guitar over a framework of cathartic, emotional pop....Sub Rosa serves up the agony and the ecstasy of pop music.
National Public Radio, All Songs ConsideredThis is the album you put on while you’re trying to get over that bastard that has ripped out your heart and left it bleeding on the floor. Vocalist Jennifer Boeder must have angels sleeping in her throat....For an album recorded in someone’s bedroom, this damn thing is beautiful.
Unsigned MagazineSub Rosa's heavenly Slings & Arrows [is] shimmering, cerebral space-folk.
Maximum InkBoeder has one of those melodically haunting voices....blended with slightly dark, moody music.... She may be a woman with a guitar, but like Sinead O'Connor, who partnered up with Massive Attack on their most recent album, her songs are no campfire sing-along.
Delusions of AdequacyA remarkable LP....a dark, lost-soul landscape, reminiscent of long-gone Chicagoans Catherine, sweeping guitars like Doves or The Cranberries, and arrangements that feel like a road trip across rolling hills, like Nick Drake or Beth Orton.
Illinois Entertainer...one intense album....Slings & Arrows is something that should be listened to in total.
NeufuturFrontwoman Jennifer Boeder knows how to make a lush, melancholy song.
Lazy EyeOn its debut, Slings & Arrows, Chicago's Sub Rosa centers around singer Jennifer Boeder, who has a rich voice that complements the band's ever-so-slightly electro-tinged folk-rock.
