ALBUM REVIEW: Amplifier Magazine, July 6, 2009
Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream. Following her brilliant 2007 release Leaving The White Line, Starr's latest collection emerges as a rather mellow, introspective journey. A classically trained pianist who transfers her skills to the acoustic guitar, Starr weaves her signature legato melodies through all sorts of cosmic folk terrain on New Warm World. Though she plays a myriad of instruments (keyboards, electric/acoustic guitar, vibraphone, harpsichord, tongue drum, mandolin, percussion etc.), Starr shines brightest when she has a living, breathing rhythm section pushing her. Case in point: Chris Donohue's warm fretless bass and drummer Greg Hardy's jazzy brush-work add an ethereal dimension to "Rebel Sky." Ditto "Go To The Ocean" (bassist Mark Hashimoto, Lee Scrivner on djembe) which is the stuff of Joni Mitchell in her remarkable mid-to-late 70s incarnation with Charles Mingus, Pat Methany, and Jaco Pastorious. Starr's angular, avant-garde electric guitar backdrop to the folksy torch song "Sing My Song" is reminiscent of Robert Fripp's work with the The Roaches as two diametrically opposed genres sit perfectly well together - highly recommended for pop listeners who wish to stretch their musical horizons.

OTHER QUOTES:
"Finally some talent!"
- Bryan Griggs, Rose City Radio Production Director (KXJM
95.5/KXL 750)
"You might ask me, "Why haven't I heard about this wonderful nymph of yours before? Why ain't she on some major label yet?" and I simply couldn't give you an answer to that! . Here's a singer-songwriter which combines life's heartfelt miseries with etherical music, and a clear, beautiful, whispered nymphlike voice that is to die for!"
-Tony, TSM/SLW Promotion, Oct. 2009
Regarding New Warm World: "It's beautiful, lazy afternoon music, redolent with bluesy tones and the sunshine of a California sky, yet brimming with real life. You wanna chill out and float away? Take a boat ride with Andi Starr and swim away inspired. Gorgeous."
- KOMODO ROCK UK
"Starr should have no problem quickly distancing herself from the competition—her clear, lovely voice and clean, lean folk-pop instincts mark her as a career artist and not just another flash in the pan."
-Barbara Mitchell, The Portland Tribune
"Put simply, Andi is honest and looks beneath the surfaces of her life to probe into the mysteries that are often overlooked when writing about heartache. That is, she's talking about life, and that entails a lot more than the typical indie-folk artist who spends, if listeners are lucky, exuberant amounts of energy singing about love gone wrong." -Christopher Green, Tracer Magazine
"Andi Starr casts her emotions out to sea and opens a window with a clear view into her soul, paying no mind to pretentious pop formulas."
- Randy Sanders, "Columbia River Reader"
"Andi Starr hits the right notes: the notes that hurt, the notes that know you, the notes that make you meet yourself."
-Culturespill Magazine
"A lovely collection of gorgeously understated material, Starr's polished pop has all
the emotional depth of Tori Amos but without the histrionics."
- The Portland Tribune, January 2007
"Intricate texturing -- swirls of strings and piano chords -- gives the tracks depth and
warmth, distance and maturity, evidence of healing and hope."
- The Oregonian, January 2007
"Andi's voice is silky and brings the sunshine."
- UNSIGNED Music Magazine, (Who Were this Year's Shining
Stars?), December 2005
