“Highly original songwriting, with a fine pop sensibility. Her voice is clean and sweet but spiked with a strange edge” -The Wire
“Melodies twist and shimmy in unpredictable ways, with casually baroque arrangements….topped off with her calm, wide eyed vocals” -CMJ
Whenever I see anything that has SUSANNE LEWIS involved I buy it immediately, usually I am completely blown away by it.”-Ptolemaeic Terrascope
“Tightly constructed, some what skewed songs. The measured sweetness attaches itself to her guitar technique, a chime then a thug, completely memorable and oddly dynamic.” -Popwatch
