Press & Accolades
“Perisho’s voice is an otherworldly force of its own, laden in contradiction: intimately winsome and spectrally brittle in moments, she sweeps vowels, wavers, and diffuses like smoke. It’s entirely devastating, and an incredible medium for presenting her intimate lyrics, which can feel like a diary, or even a carefully penned handwritten letter. 2014’s ‘In All the Ways That I Am Small’ blended the quietly spectral coos of the musical saw with banjo ukulele picking and layers of Perisho’s one-of-a-kind vocals.”
– Anna Chandler for Connect Savannah, interview with Heavy Boots.
“…when I listen to this tape, despite it being a cassette, it sounds to me like it was being played through a record player, yet more specifically a phonograph record player. …this has that feel of a time when records had to be played to match the soundtrack to a motion picture... The songs themselves each offer a little piece of something different, as they are each their own little miniature movies set to soulful music somewhere between Tiny Tim and Billie Holiday. (Yes, I’m pretty certain that a ukulele makes an appearance on here).”
– Raised by Gypsies, cassette review.
