"Margot Day's intense
voice soars through three and a half octaves with crystalline
tone, lyrics that are multi-faceted yet direct, and unforgettable
melodies. The songs are not unlike pop, using melody, rhythm,
and song structure with a goth, techno and industrial edge. Her
music flirts with real and synthetic sound, combining guitar,
synthesizer, percussion, and flute with loops and samples. The
result is a fun and unique blend that asks you to dance, sing,
laugh, and cry".--Brenda Linguit
CMJ New Music Report Featured review
in the Futures section "... continues to document her intense songwriting style
and futuristic vocal and flute sounds. Day, classically trained
in opera and flute, demonstrates her dramatic style with electronic-based
musical accompaniment and dark, sensual vocals. Vocally, she’s
similar in style to Kate Bush and Tori Amos...".
