"the kind of Burt Bacharach-tinged '60s pop that you'd listen to in a mid-century-modecondo"
- Alex Zaragoza, San Diego CityBeat
"If Burt Bacharach were to be reincarnated as a plucky songstress with a love for birds, you'd have Normandie Wilson. Wilson is about to strike musical gold again with the release of 'Summers Are for Lovers.' The five-song EP has everything her fans have come to expect, from the precocious vocals of the lead single 'Just a Little Time' to the poppy introspection of 'Every Morning's a Chance to Make Things Right' to the impressive instrumentation of the closing track, 'Beach at Night.' Throughout it all, Wilson's wry, sugarcoated wit keeps the listener hanging on every lyric."
- Chris Maroulakos, NBC San Diego
"Really, it reminded me of Cole Porter. Most of the songs were sentimental, about both the lack and the possession of love. But more than that, her cadence, sense of melody and definitely her slightly quirky narrative lyrics all said show tunes to me.
With each new tune I couldn't help but imagine a big theatrical set behind her, with characters singing the words that fit into some improbable romance that could never be or never should have been."
- Chris Miller, redandblack.com

"Las letras de sus canciones son inteligentes y con un toque de humor y cinísmo." El Vigio (Mexico)



Press for "Music For Smart People"
"Clark and Wilson's thoughtful songwriting, pleasantly elastic vocals, and solid grooves reflect the shine of '60s and '70s pop without sinking to AM-gold schmaltz."
- Jose Gonzales, Phoenix New Times
"Just when you think the album could become a bore, a whistle, scream or erratic vocal freak-out ala Modest Mouse front man Isaac Brock meets you and simultaneously punches you in the privates."
- Christina Caldwell, College Times (Jul 09, 2009)
Press for "The Flower Box":
"The confidence within the vocals is nearly unmatched today. The lyrics. at times evoke Cole Porter. The piano playing reminds me a bit of Elliott Smith and Schroeder from "The Peanuts"."
- Even In The Future, Nothing Works
"I like to think of the L.A. neighborhood of Silverlake as the center of the indie pop world at this particular moment. I'm not sure if Ms. Wilson actually resides there, but her sound certainly fits in with the likes of Bird And The Bee and others of that ilk. Stripped down naïve fun pop for those who bow in reverence at the mention of Harry Nilsson."
