JEN FOSTER: "[Award-winning lesbian singer-songwriter] Jen Foster 
doesn't
write songs about girls. She writes about women who are real, free from
goofy affectations. Women whose inner beauty is revealed in poignant 
moments
of honesty. Women like herself... She claims her biggest influence is 
Stevie
Nicks and other classic rockers like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin 
and
Janis Joplin ­ all influential rockers, but she wears none of them on 
her
proverbial musical sleeve." <http://www.jenfoster.com>

MICHAEL NACE: "Michael Nace began playing and releasing music in 1995 
with
the acclaimed Philadelphia math-rock trio Drill For Absentee and with 
the
support of Mindwalk Records. After nealy five years of performing, 
writing,
and experimenting radically with the forms of music, he ventured into 
his
own musical identity, fusing the rhythmic innovation of his past math 
and
post-rock endeavors with song motifs and hushed vocal stylings."

PETRACOVICH: "After college in Santa Barbara, and performing many solo 
gigs
of original music in coffee shops and restaurants in the area, Jessica
Peters could take no more of the girlie-folk life. She took a year off 
to
stay at home and reemerge, somewhere between Portishead and 
Sparklehorse.
She sat on the floor and tinkered with her 4 track, an ancient effects 
rack,
and a Nord lead keyboard and came up with a vibe she could dream to. 
After
playing the tapes for Tad Wagner (engineer/guitarist for Buellton), he
agreed to take on the project as co-producer/recordist and they spent a 
year
at Buonapasta studios simply and wondrously building an album. Jessica
played layers of keyboard sounds while Tad covered guitars and the 
computer.
Her vocals are often dry and mid-rangey, glazing over the music and 
falling
naturally into a softly-designed space. They enlisted friends with 
talent to
play whatever was needed, mostly drums (Andrew Giakumakis) and bass 
(Bruce
Winter), and were pleasantly pleased with the outcome: a dreamy, lo-fi,
intimate, electric, organic little album." <http://petracovich.com/>
