Karen Pernick

"Karen Pernick’s soulful sound winds around your heart like a fog around a lonely mountaintop." - Performing Songwriter Magazine



".poised at the crossroads where Jesse Sykes, Cowboy Junkies, Neko Case, and Shawn Colvin collide.quiet, huanted refrains.touchingly beautiful" Musicbox-Online



".dark and quiet.brooding little gems. (Pernick's) voice sounds like a smoother, mellower Marianne Faithfull.with a weary resignation that approaches a strange state of grace.

. there's an ominous pressure building in the air, and in the heart of the singer.that mixture of dread and anticipation creates the tension that makes Pernick's art so compelling." - All Music Guide



"Luscious vocals dominate these tracks.a poetic dualism reigns." - Seattle Sound Magazine



“.(Two Kinds of Weather) is a stunning effort that serves as a reminder that quality is more important that quantity. (the) dark, slightly edgy, full-band setting is perfect for Pernick’s alluring, slightly raspy voice and her evocative, sometimes melancholy songs. Pernick’s imagery is captivating, whether it be the seductive immolation of the obsessive romance in “Brightest Blaze” or the powerful spell cast by childhood memories in “Rain.” Pernick’s melodies are similarly rich and complex, whether it be the restrained Delta blues of “Name of That Bird,” the feedback-driven dirge of “Seven Limbs,” or the warm, major chords that compose “one Way Ticket.” The sole cover is possibly the most achingly beautiful version of “Wild Horses” I’ve ever heard with Horvitz’s grand piano and Timothy Young’s ringing electric guitar weaving circles around Pernick’s world-weary vocal. Two Kinds of Weather casts a powerful spell and is a triumphant return for Karen Pernick.” - Dirty Linen Magazine
