Having picked up mer de noms this evening, i am stil reeling from it. i can't stop listening, and i hope that i never will. this is exactly what we need in our world right now...i smell the beginning of the end of plastic pop.

Your debut album has already ranked among the modern classics in my collection and has achieved permanent status as a Top Eleven
(a rare feat).
You've woven a hypnotic sonic tapestry which is both sultry and tense, and of course, lyrically insightful. (What else could Maynard produce?)
As a playful experiment, I had "The Hollow" playing as background music while conversing with a client in my office. Our discussion stopped abruptly when he asked what station I was listening to, as he really enjoyed the music. I sat bemused as this man in his late forties told me that your music was like "Mozart with guitars". I loaned him my CD. You have gained another fan.

Their music is extremely deep, I cried it was so intense, I have never heard anything so moving in my life.

There's only one word that describes this cd.........perfect. I just bought the cd and already my parents are sick of hearing it, but I can't get enough! There isn't a song on the cd I don't like. They are powerful and moving. Magdalena especially. Keep up the incredible work!

All I can say is wow. Mer De Noms is a beautiful album, from beginning to end. The music is beautifully performed and Maynard's vocals are awe-inspiring. When I hear your music, it just takes me to a whole other place. Out of "reality" and into my mind. Ever since I got the album, it's all I've listened to. I can't go one day without hearing "Orestes". I think it is the most beautiful sogn on the album. It reminds me of my girlfriend; soft and very beautiful. That's not the point. The point is, I am glad there are still people making beautiful music like this in a world full of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Keep up the good work. Bye.
