AMY X NEUBURG
Jewish Fringes
"Wow! That was the one simple word that best described the one-woman musical hurricane that was Amy X Neuburg last night... If diversity, creativity, and flat-out ability were all crimes, Neuburg would have been locked up years ago. Her music should be played to children who express an interest in music as a lesson in what is possible... Sometimes high art like this can disappear into itself. Not so with Neuburg. Her diverse array of sounds (vocally and electronically) are matched by both her intelligent and emotionally connected lyrics and conversely her sense of fun."
THIS JUST IN from the Otago Daily Times, New Zealand
"She loops her voice and sings over her alter egos until she's a whole chorus, an opera, a circus act... Far more musical than Laurie Anderson and a hell of a lot cheerier than Diamanda Galas, Neuburg has scoped out her own territory in the gulf between pop and classical."
Kyle Gann, Village Voice, March 2004
"On the big stage of the Palace of Fine Arts Theater she was nothing less than brilliant. Her stage persona transcended the gadgetry of loop and sample, taking flight when she stepped away from the flashing, glowing electronics and took the stage, coming closer to the audience... Neuburg has an artistry and potential that are truly compelling and may prove to be bigger than the local fishbowl can contain."
