Utah Carol`s Grant Birkenbeuel and JinJa Davis create ethereal soundscape songs that are simultaneously enchanting and creepy. The duo`s soft and seductive harmonies create a dreamscape world -- children`s stories for adults -- that initially provide comfort like the scent of baking bread in mom`s kitchen. After you get past the pretty surface themes of heartache, sabotage, obsession and hope waft out. This mix of the hypnotic aspects of shoegaze pop, the sensuality of whispering Don Gibson, and the small-town-life-is-ok-until-you-look-closer aspect of David Lynch film making gives Utah Carol its unique, engaging and, sometimes, creepy appeal. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Stomping Ground)
