Little Scream at the El Rey June 3, 2011

"Just when you tought Montreal was tapped out on its music talent, along comes Little Scream" --- Jared Byer, Brooklyn Vegan

"...the singer-songwriter has a raw banshee energy that's absolutely mesmerizing. She's an artist in the same vein as Scout Niblett, Patti Smith, and Cat Power -- a ferocious singer who uses her voice as an amorphous instrument, shifting from tenderly soulful purring into wordless cries that serve as sharp punctuation marks in her melodies." --- Sarah Liss CBC.ca

"...the most unexpected part of the evening was opener Little Scream's arresting set. Her vocals are mesmerizing and raw, performed with an intimacy that is almost embarrassing, as though you were eavesdropping on someone else's deeply personal conversation. Her sound is complex and difficult to pigeonhole, though it has shades of both classic rock and something more melancholic. The church was a good venue for music that sometimes feels otherworldly, with Little Scream seemingly trying to exorcise the sound of a five-piece band through the sole guitar she carried onstage...On a night where nothing was ordinary, Little Scream was the nicest surprise." -- Midnight Poutine

"Thankfully...Montreal’s Little Scream is there to quell my fears with her celestial, mantra-like lullabies. Plink-plonking away on a dusty electric guitar that looks like it’s been languishing in an attic for years, she coos confessional lyrics with an arresting, Cat Power-like country twang. At times, her whispers morph into throbbing yodels as she squashes her distortion pedal, unleashing a hailstorm of grimy Who-esque riffs while stomping along with her right foot. Her style is intimately raw; so raw she doesn’t even have a Myspace page. It’s a shame, but this lovely Luddite makes hearts flutter nevertheless." -- eyeweekly.com
