Press Quotes
The stories tell of a stolen inheritance, a forbidden wedding, a man lured into the supernatural en route to marriage, a wooing stranger who appears to be the Devil and more. Ms. Weir's brash, impetuous, spiky music is at once unabashedly modern and continually entertaining. And this is a terrific performance.
—Anthony Tomassini, New York Times
