tapping trees in a trinket box of treasure
“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 |
