The band’s second LP Cloak and Cipher made it to AUX’s Top 10 Indie Rock Records of 2010

Nicole Villeneuve of AUX has all the praises for Liz saying:

“Liz Powell comes into her own in a big way on Cloak and Cipher, a complex and moody pop album that mines everything from classic R.E.M. to Fugazi to Stevie Nicks, all under Powell’s composed and transfixing lead. A true watershed for the band.”
