“Lee switches between punk rock fury and delicate singer-songwriter introspective beauty in a blink. It’s the dynamism of the songs, the unpredictability, that makes Lee’s set such an undiluted thrill. The twists and turns keep coming, and one gets the sense that anything could happen…There are a lot of artists out there under the alt-pop umbrella, and many of them are excellent. But there are levels, and Annabel Lee has the potential to be near the very top.”
“The alt-rock frontrunner rises to the tempestuous challenge of the debut album, impressing with the diverse and compelling project. A provoking, consistent and complex album, Mother Hammer is a more than worthy entry into the pop-rock stratosphere, and leaves Annabel Lee poised fair a big future.”
“Meanwhile, Lee presents herself on a razor’s edge balance between sultry and chaotic. A dangerous, anarchic combination that’s led her to pack the house at venues like The Echo, School Night, Satellite, and Hotel Cafe”
“Los Angeles rock artist Annabel Lee has a fiery new single and video out now titled “Alas, I’m A Lady.” With its explosive orchestral movements and escalating strums, the track is another high-octane piece from the singer/songwriter”
“Make no mistake, suffering permeates Lee’s long-in-the-works debut album, “Mother’s Hammer,” but ultimately so does triumph. With a ferocity that matches her live shows (and they are beasts) and a deftness that often eludes blues belters, she unpacks loads of personal baggage without crushing the listener with its weight.”
“California-based artist Annabel Lee might be known for her maniacal stage presence and force-of-nature vocal abilities, but we’re not really here to talk to you about that. Because what she’s brought to the table with her new track, “Los Angeles,” is a raw and emotional masterpiece.”
