“Mia Pixley circles around stories in her songs, implying much, and declaring little, creating a constant sense of enveloping curiosity. As if beneath cello plucks and wails, there’s the truth of the matter.” ”
— Afropunk
“The rhythmic thud of Pixley’s cello is paired with drums, creating a sound that’s tailor-made for a lovely jaunt into the unknown. ”
— KQED Arts, Pendarvis Harshaw
“You won’t easily find a sound quite like the one made by the multi-talented Pixley, as she puts a twist on experimental classical music, combining it with rock and a unique Southern vibe.”
— Magnet Magazine
