walls of sound and spirals of fog
author: Georg Lommen
"Listen With Mother", ihre bereits dritte Veröffentlichung, dreht und kugelt einen Strom aus Psychedelica, Britpop, Indie und melodiösem Schrammelnoise zu gitarrenlastigen Soundwänden und Spiralnebeln. Diese wiederum werden von einem unüberhörbar sanften und dennoch ausdruckstarken Frauenstimmchen begleitet. Sechs Kompositionen die den Weg zu deiner Psyche auskundschaften um deine Seele behütet baumeln zu lassen.

A breath of fresh air
author: St. Louis Riverfront Times
"...a breath of fresh air among those bands that delve into the ethereal...a range of luring melodies, which vary from spacey to funky at time, often bringing to mind the Cocteau Twins...impressive...promising..."

Girls who really know how to rock are few and far between, but the ones who hold
author: overlypretentiousindierockscenester from chicago, usa
Girls who really know how to rock are few and far between, but the ones who hold the knowledge are not to be missed. This is a prime example of such a case. Dorian Gray’s new album, “Listen With Mother” not only brings back what long time fans love them for (rock, rock, and more rock), but also brings to the table new songs that inspire and cater to a number of any given emotions. The architect behind and in front of the amazing wall of sound is Maria Miller. Her dreamy ethereal vocals play a huge part in defining their music, along with the amazing guitar work performed by both her and Gil Petrovic, in good company with Michael Crow's relentless bass lines. Add the perfectionistic drumming of one Michael Koch and it makes one exciting piece of work that puts another marker in the timeline of Dorian Gray, a band that you’d be sorry to let pass you by.
