a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
There is some really nice acoustic guitar playing here. Dawn's style is quite reminiscent of early Ani DiFranco's. Though Dawn's voice is much softer than DiFranco's. It's strong and gutsy but still has a sweet quality. Very nice.
Anjuli uses the guitar as percussion instrument as well as a melody maker. I like her sense of rhythm as well. She doesn't just use run of the mill tempos, she mixes it up a little and it sounds great.
Lyrically, Anjuli is also a very strong songwriter. Her words are powerful and intelligently written.
On "Here in My Temple" she sings:
If you've got room for another (early) Ani-type in your collection, this is a good choice. (Let us note that they even have the same initials!).
Stand out songs: Other than "Here In My Temple" I like, "Summer Storm", "That Kind of Beautiful", though they're all strong songs.
