The Horror Channel _ Review of Fuzz Mother in partial EP format, by Leo Zaccari
Scholars and Rogues/Denver/us
"She’s back with a new project, Rabbit Velvet, and the results are … well, put it this way. I hate that it took so long, but the result has rewarded my patience. Entitled Crows and Doves, it also rewards intelligence, thoughtfulness and repeated listens (I’ve probably spun it 25 times in the last two weeks, in fact, and with each listen I pick up on some nuance that I’d missed before)".

"The landscape of Crows & Doves is an iced-over forest sparkling with the whiteness of birds, haunted and challenging, forboding and seductive all at once. It’s a significant achievement and we can’t wait to hear what Stauss cooks up for us next".

"...Crows and Doves is 52 minutes of pure sunshine. I’m reminded more of Saint Etienne both stylistically and vocally over the whole album. Occasionally she even manages to out-Cracknell Sarah. Just listen to ‘Haarlem Haunt’ where Stauss transports that Camden Town vibe to New Yorks Greenwich Village and makes it her own. Swinging sixties London meets italio-house. Bet she’s got a Vespa."

"...the arrangements are consistently inventive. ‘Flying Over London’ may seem a little lightweight at first but the acoustic guitar melody, trip-hop beats and echo effects make for a great combination; all topped off by Stauss’ lighter than air vocals".

"...Her vocals are pure shadowy liquid passion, like a thing alive; haunting, seductive and elusive".

“Danielle's voice is so unique and powerful... Inspired by goth, post punk, folk, and rock, Rabbit Velvet is Danielle's solo project which can be described as electro rock!...”
