What makes Lucy Bland’s music refreshing to jaded ears is the textural
contrast of electronic beats and effects with swoony violin and cello,
the unapologetic sweetness of pledges like “May Say” and the nostalgic
“Rewrite,” and the philosophical poetry best expressed in “Blueprints” -- Pasadena Weekly
Aiding & Abetting
"Tight, mannered pop rolled out with just enough of an off-handed touch.
I like the languid feel as well as the keen sense of melody. On the whole, this works like a
charm.”
4/5 at Aced Magazine
“Lucy Bland are go-getters with immense talent. They are following up their debut EP Lucy Bland’s First Recital with Down To Sea Level this month. “It’s been a long journey on the sea…” but it seems as though Bland has their course set and steady.”
7/10 on Music Emissions
“[Lucy Bland] has talent when it comes to crafting lazy,
introspective music ...the entire album molds together perfectly to form a
lush and relaxing listening experience.”

From Three Imaginary Girls:
"With [Cat Biell’s] whiskey ice cream sweet, smooth, and bracing vocals, her tiny harshly existential bubble observations are cloud-carried by sweet cotton burbles of keyboard mirth and mellow, with perfect blue music....Music is rarely this pleasurable, meaningful, and soothing on tracks like "Centuries" and the Suzanne Vega-ish "Streaker." A very charming debut EP."
From South of Mainstream:
“Down tempo and moving, Lucy Bland is anything but bland. With the vocals of lead singer Cat Biell surrounded by some cello, guitar and keyboard, the music just seems to flow so easily. It is perfect for that quiet evening or lazy afternoon.”
From John in the Morning, KEXP Radio:
“A really really really cool cool debut EP.”
