Simply awesome
author: Jay
I have to admit, when I read about them playing here, the thing that caught my attention was the review by a local paper that said they sound like Portishead. Being that Portishead is one of my all time favorite bands, I had to check it out. Melancholy trip-hop... simply amazing. It's a style of music that only Petracovich and Portishead seem to do well. Petracovich is definitely NOT a portishead clone. This style of music is rare for some reason, and I'm one of those people that search for it high and low. This was definitely an awesome find.

Absolutely delightful melodies

If you tend towards mind-drifting, as I do, Blue Cotton Skin is the perfect food for your next mind-drifting journey. Peter's melancholy album is bound to send your cerebral cortex on a meandering venture into the subconscious, all the while blurring the boundaries which seperate the dreamworld from reality. While many compare Peter's eclectic music to Bjork's work, the comparison is too simple and only half accurate. While her synthetic rhythms do draw fair comparison to those of Bjork, it is her very "natural" and seemingly blues-inspired vocals juxtaposed against those beats that makes for such an original and absolutely brilliant album.

Petracovich is as essential as breakfast, transportation,and relaxation.

When I find a new album I really like, I can usually categorize it as follows: 1) a good cd to drive to, 2)a good cd to read a book to, or 3)a good album to put on when you wake up. Blue Cotton Skin is all three... This is rare, so I must announce my appreciation for this unique sound and
thoughtfully written collection of songs. Peters' style is delicate and cool, yet there is a strength and eerieness about her that separates her from all else. You owe it to yourself to hear her out....

Great

I've just recently discovered this artist. And i gotta say I got impressed. It's a great novelty, and would possibly have been featured on my fav 2003 albums list, if I had got in touch with it before. Never late enough, this is at least a must-check-out. Go ahead, listen and enjoy.
