Details:
"Spielerfrau is the brainchild of the Soviet emigre, former television-news anchor, journalist, and singer-songwriter Michael Idov. The trio has a sound that mixes heartfelt rock with intelligent lyrics full of Eastern European black humor and irony." -- The New Yorker
"Eerie guitars and dry-ice beats... Dark, intellectual rock" -- Time Out New York
"Spielerfrau''s music can be placed in that relatively small category where artists like Tindersticks, Nick Cave, Bauhaus and Tom Waits belong. It''s a place where pondered, intriguing thoughts float on sparse arrangements, where banality is banned and character emerges naturally." -- The Deli
