"...On Time Travel and Romance is one wonderful tune after another--the kind of songs that are instantly lodged in your head like some great classic you've always loved...the CD's sparse arrangements and lo-fi production are perfect for Natalie's sing-songy compositions, which she belts out with a huge and expressive voice. Although Agent Ribbons takes on many varying genres, they manage to inflect them all with an almost vaudeville-era sensibility...musically and thematically. The CD is fearlessly romantic, magically childlike, and even morbidly twisted--sometimes all in one song...the album introduces a colorful cast of characters: big-hearted hookers, a boy made of wood, a lonely young bride (who happens to be deceased) and oh so many more...it's a joy from beginning to end." -Alive and Kicking
You two were wonderful today. I enjoyed watching your performance in Berkeley, and will hopefully be attending your show in oakland on the first. Your new songs are beautiful!
