Three Story Sandbox
Ed Enright, DownBeat “Editor’s Pick”
“The music is stunning and brilliant in its unfettered freedom; its success is the result of each musician’s technical virtuosity, not to mention their shared history of interaction and dedication to the pursuit of artistry…A kaleidoscopic array of aural imagery… Borla employs a full range of tones, timbres, whispers, clicks and lip-smacks as she nimbly vocalizes in a language that’s all her own.”
John Lane, Percussive Notes
"Daring, expressive, and full of unbridled creativity... Brilliant and totally uninhibited... The real soul of the project is Borla's vocals, at times haunting, soaring, whimsical, and everything in between... A combination of the most sophisticated and challenging western art music (e.g., John Cage), combined with an exotic world music ambiance, tied all together with the sensibilities of free jazz."
