“Ellquist’s vocals keen through the din like Liz Frazier’s (of Cocteau Twins) angry baby sister -- the result, nothing short of phenomenal.”
~ Filter Magazine (Live performance review)

"un sonido maduro, un rock que viaja por distintos estilos sin perder la línea"
~ Fragments Soniques (Spanish Music Blog - Album Review)

“A bold mixture of PJ harvey and Pale Saints.”
~ Performer Magazine (USA)

“In such a bleak musical environment, [Robotanists’ EP] Close Down The Woods is a float for rescue. In just 36 minutes Sarah Ellquist’s angelic voice leads us to different acoustic spaces, whether it be orchestrated pop, jazz or straight up Rock and Roll… with such impeccable performances, it is clear that this the surprise album of the season.”
~ Idealno & Pragmaticno (Serbian Music Blog - Album Review)

"Their songs are Immediate and warm, closer to the gentler moments of Mogwai, the torch songs of Jeff Buckley and the ether-clouded melodies of Broadcast."
~OC Weekly (USA)

"If you’re not captivated by [the song “Wait a Minute here”], then I don’t know how you can ever claim to have been in love and possess a heart… it brings such a strong longing sense that it’s hard to properly compare it to something else. The simplicity of it adds such an epic feeling to the song. You might ask how is such possible. It’s simple, really, the fact that it feels so bare bones is how it fuels the ‘just out of reach’ sensation of the song that the lyrics bring."
