Fuel TV Blog
"Elegant and enchanting. Simply put the music resembles some type of nocturnal dreamscape."

Ciao Chessa
"The music is haunting and evokes a sense of nostalgia that takes me back to my room in high school listening to Roxy Music and David Bowie. Yet despite that, it still has a fresh and unique sound that I can't quite compare to anyone I have ever heard before."

Stranded in Stereo
"Good music draws on influences, but the best stuff pushes the envelope forward a few steps, and often times it can throw people for a loop at first. Did you like your favorite album the first you heard it? NYC band herMajesty flies under the radar, but their new EP Images From the Vanishing Night is an excellent listen. It references such bands as the Decemberists and Arcade Fire, but it takes a few unexpected twists and turns."

"Named for a Freudian quote, working with a producer/wannabe shrink, and writing songs that explore the true nature of people, herMajesty invokes the dreamy state that could provide psychoanalysts with never-ending work. Think imagery like nutmeg in your hair, sawdust in your eyes and a dark canal at night interspersed in music that evokes the flights a pigeon might make over a fluorescent city bustling with those who brave the dark. I stumbled across the song "World Smiles" last month. It enamored me enough to include on our April Egg on yo' face mix."

Story by: Abby Margulies

HerMajesty is the winner of this week's CMJ Sonicbids spotlight competition. Drawn together by a confluence in musical taste, the New York-based trio made its debut in 2005 with Memory And Loss, and their follow up EP, And Now This..., is slated for a Spring 2008 release. Reveling in luxurious pop melodies replete with soaring vocals and charming instrumentals, the group has slowly garnered attention on the New York scene.

The upcoming release, featuring "Across The Rooftops," was produced by Nic Hard (The Church, Aberdeen City) and is enriched by the string work of Ljova, arranger for the Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet.
