The Coma Lilies

"This group has yet to be discovered nationally, but it will be. They are a unique blend of many popular styles. Peggy Sue, The Gnome Sond and Erotic Boxing are all great examples of music that is edgy yet mellow and refreshing. The guitar styling of Michael Spector is among the best of I've hear in several years. He's a natural. For a guy with no formal music education he's amazing. This is definitely a group to watch and to listen to."
I cried the first time i heard this CD.

"This CD is nothing short of genius. The coma lilies provide nine songs, each one reaching new heights. It is probably the best first CD since "the mars volta" or "DJ shadow, entroducing." The coma lilies' music is unlike that of anyother band at this time. It is lyrical intrumental music, beautifully structured with perfect melodies and arrangments. Don't get me wrong. -It's really pretty but it will also ROCK your ass. If you like good music (radiohead? aphextwin? DJ shadow? mr. bungle? tool? tom waits? bjork?) than you'll LOVE the coma lilies. It's music for everyone!"
A+

"The Coma Lilies music is amoung the best to emerge in recent years. The band's unique guitar and songwriting style sets them far apart from any of the obvious comparisons. The Coma Lilies'approach to songwriting entirely negates the conventional need for lyrics, rather the moods that develop within the composition are emphasised as guitars carry the hooks. Each song seems to tell a story, some even sound like they have three-act structures. This CD is appropriate listening for any mood, and the iherint emotion in the music will never fails to elevate ones state of mind.
My only criticsm of this record is that although it has nine tracks, a few of these are less developed than others, so the CD is shorter than one might think. The album's opener "Grab a Fork Micron" sets the bar for rocking out high, a point which is not again reached in the rest of the album. However, the sonic excellence of the music persists, and the ablum that feeling wholeness that great albums have. "The Coma Lilies" is a fine work of art, the word "masterpiece" even seems fitting. Buy it! You will be glad you did."
