".... the dog in the house who found as if through chanelling a human voice for its expressions" -GeraldPsyche from Belgium. Read his review here.
"a majestic framework of rural poetics and darkly colored orchestration...With an acoustic folk strum as anchor, Hubbard’s strong voice blends in and out of the chimerical atmosphere and becomes another leaden layer at times. Folk notions are subdued in an almost eerie ambience that ebbs from clanging bells and distant creaks that are more incidental aura than craft...More people should hear this engaging voice turn familiar gestures into untrodden and insolent music." -- Eric Weddle for Dusted Magazine

Review from "Raven Sings The Blues" music site
Ash flecked ghosts of folk from Bloomington, Indiana's Caethua; on her latest tape, Queenly Women Crowned and Uncrowned. Alternating between the thick fog of field recorded moans and lonesome folk wanderings through the burnt leaves of late Autumn. Much of Queenly Women feels shrouded in the grayed skies of October dawn; early frost clinging to the grass and the beginnings of a drizzle rumbling in the clouds. Its definitely not an album of celebration but its not necessarily dour, just delightfully gloomy. Clare Hubbard's voice is delicately weathered, strong and lamenting but never asking for pity. The album's tracks burrow under your skin slowly until her voice twists with the icy wind in your ears and the buzzing din splashes along with tires on pavement. Though I've heard little of Hubbard before this point it seems that she'll become deservingly more prevalent.
Glad we've reconnected here. I remember you well from when you played at the Root Bar - I'm listening as I write to "I Become My World." Cool song. Nice recording. Good that you're still going for it.
