A Rock Musical that Actually Rocks!, April 14, 2006
Seaworthy wasn't written as a rock musical, but it certainly could have been one. It's a coherent collection of complex, piano driven songs. Too many rock musicals (and rock musicians versed in music theory) tend to forget that rocking out is as important as the technical nature of the craft. As a song-writer and performer, Margrit never makes this mistake. Her songs are both complex and cool. If you like Ben Folds or Rufus Wainwright, you'll want to check out Seaworthy.

Tori and Fiona ain't got nuthin' on True Margrit, May 7, 2006
Tori and Fiona ain't got nuthin' on True Margit...and what I mean by that is...in the past, when I wanted to put on music that "moved" me...I would usually choose either Tori Amos or Fiona Apple, cuz piano music moves me, and I love their poetry and use of the piano to express themselves. (I have been listening to both of them since the beginning of their careers) NOW...when I want to put on music that moves me...True Margrit is my first choice. Both of their CD's are so amazing that I can just play them over and over again and not only keep hearing different things with each song musically, but lyrically, I also hear different lines that I missed, or didn't register other times. I am looking forward to another new release, and in the mean time, I'll keep on rockin' to Seaworthy and Deceptively True...it's TRUE!!!!

Impossible Pop, November 30, 2005
Wow. From the heartbreakingly vulnerable (ballads From Another Zone and Great Praise) to the fantastically upbeat (Members Only, etal), this is a great record, old school--an experience to be savored from beginning to end. Songwriter Eichler is like a scientist in the lab of life, and finds her subjects (including herself) compelling creatures, and (here's the kicker) ultimately capable of great things. With lush, complex arrangements, surefooted musicianship at every step, songs that'll crack you up, make you scratch your head, sing along...SEAworthy is also HEARworthy.
