"Peg
Simone, out of Brooklyn, employs the slide to bone-chilling effect
here, fracturing raucous rock choruses and sepia-toned ballads into
ghost images with its off-tuned eeriness. Her music is poised somewhere
between Muddy Waters and Pere Ubu (Tony Maimone recorded this album
at Studio G), pure blues tones stuttering across hectic post-punk
rhythms, free-thinking modern lyrics bent around the age-old quandaries
of love and violence." "Her
songs are hot, dark and broody, full of the bad voodoo of The Gun
Club, her breathy vocals have the sass of a PJ Harvey. The Deeper
You Get has a primal beat and a physical presence. You're in a lot
deeper than just a girl and her guitar." "We
are due our next Sacred Feminine...'I'm Calling' is certainly one
of those tracks you feel you've always known - an instant classic.
I can't wait to see her live." "Peg
delivers a killer vocal - one that's fuelled with a flying, pure
emotion - a bluesy, angelic delivery set alight by colliding guitars
and rattling strings. Inventive, raw and heartfelt music from across
the sea." Wrestling
primal back-alley poetry onto a moonlit porch, she fuses the petulant
aura of Patti Smith or PJ Harvey with the pouting power and bristling
pristine presence...Deceptively vitriolic blues." "Haunting,
timeless, passionate, lived-through songs. Straight from the heart,
as though sharing a secret meant only for you." "Nuggets
with some real sparkle. Peg's sultry, sometimes languid vocals are
perfect for these rock noir songs. The tone and delivery set a mood
that keeps you hooked." "Peg
Simone is indeed A Real Thing: Harrowing, passionate rock &
roll." "The
songs burn brightly, and it's easy to be drawn in by their somber
intensity." "Full
of surprises and fervor...Leaves you yearning for much more."
"At
once airy and back alley malevolent...a dark, smoky modus operandi."
"Unusual
and Brilliant." "Unique
breathy vocals and ghost-town tumbleweek rock 'n' roll."
