REVIEWS:

Mystical country. An eerie yellowing photograph.

-David Bowie

"The Green" is a fascinating and absorbing listen that should sneak onto more than a few year end Best Of lists, even without the assistance of Mr. Bowie.

-My Old Kentucky Blog

The album includes moments of startling beauty. The purity of Allen's singing in the delicate ballad "Cloy" calls to mind Susanna Karolina Wallumrød (Susanna and the Magical Orchestra), while her multi-tracked voice suggests kinship with Jane Siberry when the stately dreamscape “The Moon's the North Wind's Cookie” glistens like some mystical paradise of synthetic shimmer.

-Textura

Delicate and strong, (Allen's) delivery takes charge of the EP and makes you want to listen to the scant 16 minutes of music over and over and over.

-Some Lost, Some Found
