Uncut, April 2003
Schneider's delivery and attitude is part-PJ Harvey, part-Patti Smith with hayseeds
New Musical Express, March 2003
Lonely One is like PJ Harvey if she'd been raised in the Deep South
Maverick, April 2003
Imagine Lucinda Williams singing PJ Harvey with Calexico in charge of guitar and drums
No Depression, September 2003
With her raven-tressed, smoldering good looks, lyric sensuality, and charismatic delivery, she's a force of nature.
About the Artist
The New-York based trio Alice Texas is the brainchild of its lead singer-songwriter Alice Schneider. Sad Days is the band's first proper release after a self-produced record which led the New-York Village Voice to say imagine the offspring of P.J Harvey and Nick Cave, and you've got this angsty, moody, bluesy combo. A new diva for country noir with one foot in the country-blues roots and another one in a more indie territory until now claimed by PJ Harvey and Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval.
