"... when the eruptions start happening and Kate Rivera's evocative vocal aesthetic cuts through, I thought of an amalgam, a car crash of PJ Harvey (Dry- circa 93), Chrissie Hynde - from the Pretenders (My City is Gone- circa 82) and Patti Smith (Radio Baghdad - circa 2004)" - American Pancake (US)
