"Enviaby literate and awesomely disciplined, Venable amplifies her power through a riveting soprano voice that stuns and enraptures so thouroughly that multiple listenings are required to begin unraveling her mysteries of music and meaning." -S.F. Bay Guardian

"At best, a Venable performance - whimsical, funny, impulsive, rapturous - posits the idea of a darkly creative genius flailing away under the vaudevillian's tux and tails. Sneaking swigs from a flask of peppermint schnapps, she's delirious from the power of her warring impulses." -SF Bay Guardian

"Noe Venable's shivering, gravelly soprano and ghostly melodies are like poems and exorcisms." -Portland Mercury

"A compelling storyteller with a keen eye for detail. A radiant vocalist who sings with a poet's pathos about the shadows and secrets of the downtrodden. She's the freshest voice in San Francisco" -San Francisco Magazine

"Venable spins out her songs like a Pied Piper who's already taken the kids and has come back for more." -S.F. Weekly

"Venable's deftly veering vocals chill us with warbling wails and jar us with girlish shouts. It's the cry of Little Red Riding Hood lost in the woods and leaving a crumb trail of broken wolves behind her." -East Bay Express
