Reviews

'With confessional lyrics and earthy production, Quick Look is an honest and unusual singersongwriter album ...'

Press review from: Arizona Republic (USA)

'A gifted instrumentalist and a writer of compelling lyrics, Pina's ragged, plaintive voice provides the third facet that makes Quick Look an extraordinary debut. The bruised quality of her voice...is so appealing to the ear that it becomes the mood of the album. Whether she's delving into rock, as on "The Tower", or working the gothic-folk feel of "Josephine", Pina's touch is musical magic.'

Press review from: Billboard (USA)

'Intriguing vocallist Pina Kollars makes a strong solo debut... Kollars' gritty feline vocals harken back to folk legend Melanie, while her tuneful material smartly juggles alt rock, gothic folk and "psychedelic almost country"'.

Press review from: Philadelphia Daily News (USA)

Pina's 'Quick Look' deserves a long listen

'The fascinating Austrian performer is possessed with a such a gripping spirit on her debut... spellbinding vocals in a surreal folk context.'

Press review from: Knoxville News-sentinel (USA)

‘Mit starker, herzlicher Stimme singt sie über familiäre Lebensdramen- spärlich und düster instrumentiert.’

Press review from: Harburger (Germany)

‘Das Album ist ein gelungenes Debüt, eingespielt mit einer feinen Band. Im Tacheles steht die junge Pina allein auf der Bühne. Mit dieser eindringlichen Stimme zwischen Patti und Alanis, die sich von tiefem gutturalem Gurren zu zornigem Schreien steigert, von molliger Wärme zu blitzend kalter Schärfe.’

Press review from: Berliner Tageszeitung (Germany)

‘...das vielversprechende Debütalbum einer interessanten Künstlerin.’

Press review from: Muisikmarkt (Germany)

‘Ausdrucksstark. Ein selbstbewußtes Debüt einer ausdrucksstarken Sängerin.’

Press review from: Neurieder Rundschau (Germany)
