A few reviews of "Get Down":

"The Transmissionary Six's Terri Moeller plays harmonica, drums and percussion, but her voice is what gives this album its indelible print. Like the Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmons and Wild Colonials' Angela McCluskey, her alto has a languid, lullaby-like quality. Moeller and writing partner Paul Austin enmesh those vocals with airy vibes, Mellotron burbles, sweet pedal steel slides and a warm cello, creating an alluring, Morcheeba-like veil of sonic beauty. But they don't let it shroud the troubled urban landscape they traverse, - such as the troubled Witness Protection Program participant who reveals, in "My New Name": "I could be safe again... but I keep forgetting my new name." The name may be missing, but the seduction is complete. - ROLLING STONE

"Moody? Hell yeah. With a catch in her throat, Moeller's husky singing imparts the dramatic edge - and requisite gravity - that anchors the stark lyrics and spacious arrangements of their new CD. The album spotlights Austin's acoustic guitar, embellished by vibraphone, field recordings, Wurlitzer organ, and viola. Their duo's third full-length, helmed by atmospheric producer Tucker Martine, was cut last summer, but makes a very suitable soundtrack for the transition from this waning, glorious autumn into the chilly winter months ahead." - THE STRANGER

"To make a long story short... we had the brightest light on the dimmest porch,â Terri Moeller sings toward the end of Get Down. We couldnât have put it better ourselves. The Transmissionary Six are one of the more accomplished acts in the country-noir field (think Handsome Family or Neko Caseâs Furnace Room Lullaby), but the best moments on Get Down are the ones that trade gauzy, Mazzy Star-style droning atmospherics for sharper rock terrain. âHappy Landings,â âDimmest porchâ and âHoliday Parkâ bristle with a sense of cross-current melody like mid-â80s R.E.M. - HARP

"Slow and haunting, like the wind across a Texas prairie." - THE PORTLAND MERCURY

There are two other releases by the Transmissionary Six available on CD Baby as well!
