Album Notes

Sara Wendt's songs from her City Canyons Records EP, HERE'S US, are a study in contrasts, rocking yet delicate and nuanced, tough yet tender, and reflective yet electrifying, featuring haunting overtones that make her music both vivid and dreamy. Sara's music has been described as alternative pop rock with a light sprinkle of Celtic seasoning but that description leaves volumes unsaid. Sara's music, both exhilarating and aching, goes straight through the ear to the heart.
And while Sara's voice may be deceptively gentle at times, there's a power there just under the surface that can and will burst forth. While her debut CD, PARACHUTE charted as a top play on national radio stations and reviewers called her tunes, "music for your dreams," Sara reaches her full powers as an artist with HERE'S US creating lush and beautifully crafted alternative pop music and clothing it in lyrics with the color and brilliance of jewels.

Tense and powerful pop gem!
author: Jon Sobel, Blogcritics.org
Sara Wendt's captivating new EP HERE'S US meets the expectations raised by its promotional copy: "rocking yet delicate and nuanced... featuring haunting overtones that make her music both vivid and dreamy." "I'll Be Waiting" is a tense and powerful pop gem. Wendt's sad and beautiful cover of Homer Erotic's "King of the Ghosts" has a sun-baked Mediterranean feel, as her keening wail trades riffs with co-producer Ann Klein's fuzzed-out guitar. The poetry is like an offspring of Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith, and Wendt's wrenching delivery squeezes the most out of it. "Pretty Dark Knight" is a dreamy, Eastern-influenced drone complete with sitar (Klein again). It's a little like The Doors' "The End" turned upside down and inside out. An unexpected chord change in the chorus and the crystalline toll of a bell provide all the drama the song needs. The title track is another catchy pop nugget, this time on the Sarah McLachlan tip.... This is intelligent, variegated music that is perhaps most easily classified as pop-rock, but shouldn't be shoehorned into any such category

A terrific CD!
author: Mary Gilbert, Guitar Noise
A reminiscent kind of beautiful and breath of fresh sound from Sara Wendt, HERE'S US is a nice change, giving a romantic, light, breeze of feminine tone emoting and all in all a terrific CD! Sara's voice has a familiar type of ring to it. Every track on Here's Us has a visual impact and is cleverly written, rock with a soft side. I think any lover of the old Joni Mitchell classics will absolutely love the sound of Sara's voice and HERE'S US. The haunting, elusive track King of the Ghosts is my personal favorite - it has a Spanish flavor and Sara's voice covers the full range and explodes with feeling between melodic twists, it is a truly beautiful song. The title track is also quite uplifting and romantic but very upbeat and compliments perfectly the tracks that follow, which are much more reflective, with a full emotional power that Sara seems to weave quite naturally.

Sara Wendt defies comparison...
author: Adam A. Donaldson, Lucid Forge
Sara Wendt deserves to be heard in some dimly lit, smoke-filled, basement set jazz club in order to give her music the perfect atmospheric accompaniment, and if you close your eyes and imagine you find your self almost there. Wendt's music has been described as alternative pop rock with a sprinkle of Celtic, but that brief description leaves out the numerous other influences heard. Nor can it convey the power of Wendt's voice, which on most tracks is left simmering under the surface, "King of the Ghosts" being the notable exception. Every song is a little microcasum of different musical styles with flourishes of jazz and folk mixed into the pop/rock base. What ever the genre, Wendt defies comparison....
