Kono Michi

THE STRAD MAGAZINE
"This is a great advert for music that breaks through the pop-classical barrier."
"Intriguing and exquisitely beautiful."



PLAYBACK:stl
"If that isn't the greatest album concept ever.my god. Roger Waters would weep."



FEASTOFMUSIC.COM
"Dark and deeply satisfying."



MUSICTOWERS.COM (May 2008)
"Talent – there, I've said it – is something that is simultaneously misunderstood, misappropriated and misapplied by commentators at every level. Well, Kono Michi does have genuine talent. … she has crafted an EP that takes one area of virtuosity – her violin playing – and matches it with a voice and an ear for unique songwriting. Music Towers will await her next release in earnest."



THE LIST (June 2008)
"Straight outta Brooklyn comes Kono Michi, adding her sleepy, treacly voice to a kooky, electro swirl of classical violins and glockenspiel…"



WOSU ("Is She Pop, Classical, Avant-Garde, or All Three?") (July 2009)
"Whatever you do, get the word out. This girl is going places."



The SCOTSMAN UK (Nov 2008)
"[Kono Michi's] sound is one of dreamy trip-hop and mournful Japanese lyricism supplemented with rock, folk and even classical elements, [with] vocals augmented by her shimmering violin. Her breathy, soulful take on The Look of Love was gorgeousness itself."



SUPERSWEET.ORG
"Truly, truly talented."



MUSICTOWERS.COM (Nov 2008)
(from 'The Grey Eulogy EP' with The Stone Ghost Collective):
"It's addictive like an arcade game that you can't stop pumping pound coins in till you've blown your bus fare home. A genuine contender for Track of the Year."
