“Tapping Trees in a Trinket Box of Treasure is a true treasure.” - Linda Perhacs, Parallelograms

“Beautiful! I wanted to play the songs again and again.” 
- Terry Hall, The Specials

“...hallucination friendly,neo-sike pop at its best, which could easily have been recorded in a small, smokey, 
avant guard Paris night club, a 30’s Chicago, cabaret, in a timeless corner of the Twilight Zone, a bohemian bar in New York’s Village...” 
- Mark Wirtz, Ivor Novello Award-winning 60’s EMI Records/Abbey Road Studios 

“Spending an hour with the narcotic splendor of Ms. Leakey’s sultry sounds is like taking a stroll underwater through limpid, star-spangled honey... on Ecstasy.” 
- The Millionaire, Combustible Edison
