PRESS
“...a beautiful collection of magically transportive, gloriously narcotic dream-pop" - Chris Cantalini (Gorilla Vs Bear)
“…it’s a gentle, reverent album that brings you closer to your own consciousness and that of all living and past beings on Earth and far beyond.”
- Lizzie Manno (PASTE Magazine)
"Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico is a total vibe record, and a terrific, beautiful and fully realized one at that, man.”
- Bill Pearis (Brooklyn Vegan)
"This Taos, New Mexico duo’s debut album is a fine set of atmospheric dream-pop with a haunting desert-psych sound combining circling guitar lines, serene vocals and hypnotic melodies." - DY (KEXP)
“…gentle, cooling vibrational energy, which feels both earthy and ethereal.” - Margaret Welsh (Women In Sound)
"It would be easy to file this under ‘dream pop’ but there is something more demanding, more artful, and more full of surprise in the tone of the band.” - Pop Bollocks
"The duo of Lauren Green (Mirror Travel) and interdisciplinary artist Marissa Macias have made something that feels sonically spiritual with their debut album, Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico, an airy record that is heavy on atmosphere and meditative dreaminess.”
- Dan Goldin (Post Trash)
