Clarke, Two Louies Magazine
"Brown first demonstrated this amazing scope on her first CD, "Do Not Stare," and she continues to amaze on her new CD "Jonah Days." Over the course of 12 tracks, Brown spins out strange, unsettling stories about fate, bad timing, grand disappointments, cosmic punishments and the blurred line between dream and waking. Brown doesn't make it easy, but she makes it well worthwhile. A few times through Jonah Days and you'll agree." Dave Mazza, editor, The Portland Alliance
"Brown's songs have been described as catchy alt-pop, but they're darker and subtler than that. Many of them have a twist that catches you by surprise... Dawning awareness that things aren't what they seem is another favorite theme." David Stabler, The Portland Oregonian
"Candid and diverse." oregonlive.com
"The poet, arranger, vocalist, guitarist and piano player takes an unusual angle on funk-alternative pop music." Salem Statesman Journal
"This album is to music what John Sayles' "The Secret of Roan Inish" is to film: an enduring folk tale, rich with timeless images. Inspired and original." S.P. Clarke, Two Louies Magazine.
"A singer/songwriter of perversely addictive off kilter story-songs. Rachel Taylor Brown and her modern rock band create catchy pop with a dark side." Lisa Lepine, Music Industry Consultant
"This will not be a record for bubble gummers. The lyrics go deep--conjuring images sometimes unsettling, other times witty and facetious, but never giving the whole story away. The music is a medley of pop styles with melodic lines introducing, changing, and repeating reminding the listener of Rachel's classical background." Rob Stroup, 8 Ball Studio/front man for The Imprints/Baseboard Heaters
