ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW ON AMAZON & iTUNES
“The classically trained pianist’s new single is a
wickedly baroque paean to decaying classics. Spektor charges over chase-scene
scales and spitball synths [on ‘All The Rowboats’].”—Rolling Stone
“On the new album What We Saw from the Cheap Seats,
she’s totally out on her own as both songwriter, rampaging manically through
dramas and moods and time signatures, as a performer, from Italian accents and
vocal percussion to the pure, unrefined emotions.”—Word
“On ‘Rowboats,’ Spektor finally matches her memorable
lyrical tales to music that’s just as,
if not more than, dramatic.”—Billboard

“Another super polished taster from What We Saw from
the Cheap Seats [of ‘Small Town Moon’].—NME
“With minor-key pianos, machine-gun drums, and thoughtful
musings on museum paintings,
she goes form pixiesh to serious, all in three and a half very dramatic minutes [of ‘All The Rowboats’].”—Entertainment Weekly

“Ms. Spektor can write pop songs when she wants to.
But pop is far from the only thing she wants.”—The New York Times
“A singular songwriting voice that spans genres and personas
with grace and apparent ease.”—NPR Music
