here are some words written about Disaster Poetry:
The appeal of a genuinely innocent-sounding female vocal is an eternally enduring one, and Flotilla singer/songwriter Veronica Charnleys lovely voice would be sweet enough to make the album even if the music sucked. Luckily, it doesnt -- the band feature members with legitimate musical training (including a classical harpist whose subtle touches add volumes to the songs pop foundations), and the albums combination of humane introspection and sophisticated songwriting is a good one. Their more upbeat numbers are pretty and engaging, and their piano ballads are both intimate and hook-laden in a 70s singer-songwriter vein ... Their unique flare is apparent even when constrained by contemporary form, and this shows a lot of promise. -- Exclaim!
... Singer Veronica Charnleys vocals are as lilting and mellifluous as a songbird, with hints of a Joni Mitchell-style meter, tugging gently at her undulating tones. Leadoff track Beneath The Snow is a fine example of Flotilla at their most approachable and compelling: vivid imagery, fluid transitions and playfully scurrying harps conspire to craft an unique, addictive sound... -- Wavelength
