5.0 out of 5 stars Positively Amazing..., August 27, 2006

By	S. E. Millstein (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Online and in stores, I've probably bought 100 albums this year. This is in the top 2 or 3. It's like an electronic version of Keren Ann or Torrini. It's rich on a number of levels. It's amazing that SS does not yet have a huge following. Gosh, this is the first review! I guess I got lucky when I stumbled onto it. And you should too.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's something goin' on here......., December 27, 2006

By	Joe Leonard "Average Joe music fan" (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews

I was lucky enough to see Sol Seppy open a Sparklehorse show late summer of 2006 @ The Bowery Ballroom in NYC. We were there to see Sparklehorse. Period. After Sol Seppy I just couldn't pay attention to the music for the remainder of the evening. She (they) opened with "Human". "Hello, my name is human and I come frome love"... Sounds sweet and sappy, I know. We're all critics. More cynical every day. BUT....Sophie (lead singer, songwriter) believes what she's singing and after seeing her live, I beleive that she believes.

Sparse, gentle instrumentation at times, into a fuzzy electronic buzz/beat. The record keeps my attention and Ive turned many on to it to good reviews. Buy it and believe. You can purhase it through the Seppy website for about $18 shipped. Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. One of my favorites., April 20, 2009

The Bells of 1 2 is a wonderful album with quality songs throughout. As some have noted, it is faintly reminiscent of Mazzy Star but less dark and more structured. The music is plush and encompassing. I'm always disappointed when the last song is over. I still listen to it regularly and place it in the top ranks of my extensive music collection. Highly recommended.
