"Transitioning from an acoustic duo to a full band sounds effortless for husband/wife team Alexei and Channy Moon Casselle -- he of gravelly voiced Crescent Moon rapper fame, and she of serene, siren-like singing ability. Their edgy, starry-night country/folk music is nicely filled in with softly plunked banjo, pretty violin and pristine electric guitar parts. But their intimate, evocative songs are still the attraction, along with Channy's uncanny voice, like Margo Timmons mixed with Joanna Newsom." (Chris Riemenschneider, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Jun 26, 2008
