York Calling Review ““Etherbaby, real name Elodie Graf, has a refreshing style. She combines big, soulful vocals with a textured electronic soundscape. It’s a combination you might not think would work to begin with, but by the time the first chorus of opening track I Don’t Care hits, you’re convinced. The sweeping vocals provide a roadmap through the labyrinthine instrumentals and what shines through is Elodie’s heart.” - Graeme Smith, York Calling (UK)
Sinusoidal Music Review : “At 20 years of age and 3 of the tracks written in 2016, etherbaby is able to channel the rawness of these intensely emotional experiences as they came – in the process of building her identity and the burden of selfhood, she charts her journey to liberation through relationships, solitude and the weight of being your own person. She is really good at this evocative storytelling, in translating passion to song. I Don’t Care starts there, freeing herself from a manipulative relationship by asking a series of introspective hard-hitting questions set to funky cascading electronic ripples and sick psychedelic synths in the break. Breaking Down follows, a more up-tempo but dreamy exploration of loneliness – the hard questions that you can’t help but ask yourself in the silence of the void. It is disruptive of her definitions of self, but gives us a cinematic soundscape to introspect. Always is a breakup song, much more minimal in its approach to crafting melody, but so much more heart-wrenching in that setting. Nightmare is its optimistic and triumphant aftermath, finally claiming a sense of self in the ashes of it all – like a phoenix.” - Aditya Katakol, Sinusoidal Music
