"We heartily recommend the self-titled Angular Records debut
album from Elizabeth Harper, she's from NYC, but you'd never
know it."
Rolling Stone.com
"This in-demand babe is definitely worth catching before she
hits the big time."
Daily Mirror, London
"Miss Harper is a local singer-songwriter who has an engaging,
lush voice that is the backdrop to a 60's-style pop ballad.
Never cheesy, often sultry, Harper is a refreshing breath
of air with an uplifting sprit about her - get in on the ground
floor ASAP."
Village Voice
"Harper has an enticing voice, great melodies, and solid
songwriting with the occasional arty-quirky bits. By herself
her stuff's a tad melancholy and delicate a la Chan Marshall
or Elliott Smith, with her band the pop is more bubbly with
a slight spice of 80's Brit-pop (the Cure, the Smiths) thrown
in."
Village Voice
"There are tons of really terrible female singer-songwriters
who pretend to not know anything beyond swooning and crooning
over the trials and tribulations of being a woman (as if it
were that bad), thus coming off totally helpless, musically,
not to mention annoying. Not true with Elizabeth Harper. More
akin to Chrissie Hynde than her acoustic would have you believe,
Harper has a candidly lovely singing voice that's anything
but sappy and, unlike that collective of ladies still stuck
at the Living Room, is genuinely deserving of this high-profile
bill. Also: Mason Jennings, Crooked Fingers (bowery ballroom
3/14).
