  the wire / tom ridge
  she’s resumed her solo career with a sense of continuity and freshness.

  bust magazine / michael levine
  The proof is all here; Germano is a musical genius who will always be a step ahead of the nextbig indie-rock chick
• 11/30/2009 - lisa germano / magic neighbor review
  pennyblackmusic.com / lisa torem
  Germano’s compositional talent on piano bears mention – her passages are sometimes brittle, sometimes brief, but completely engaging and mood-provoking. Sometimes the melodies swerve out of control along with veering tempo adjustments, but her reassuring vocal tones continually bring us back to the start.
• 11/20/2009 - lisa germano / magic neighbor review
  diary of musical thoughts blog / barry
  ...a tribute to the strength of the songwriting, Germano's use of her voice as a simple yet powerful lead instrument, and light embellishments (echo or double-tracking on the vocals, using the piano pedals as subtle percussion as in "Snow")that give the album its other-worldly qualities...

  Uncut Magazine / David Stubbs
  All around, it's the sort of album from which you stumble blinking,having been temporarily lost in, wondering just what happened.
• 10/27/2009 - larkin grimm/parplar review
  foxydigitalis.com / B. Miles and Zac Keller
  Grimm has a wonderful voice and holds her own. But something inside me wants to just hear her and a guitar.
• 10/25/2009 - lisa germano / magic neighbor review/interview
  Innocent Words Magazine / Troy Michael
  Germano took some time to talk about the new album, her new home at Young God Records and her time away from music.
