reviews
"Delicious, seductive, enigmatic, hauntingly captivating, mysterious, eclectic, cerebral, moody..
Genre-defying yet at once embraceable and undeniably commercial, seasoned with catchy hooks, marvellous arrangements and melodies..
This is hallucination friendly, neo-psych pop at its best..
The best thing for you to do is -- buy a copy and lose yourself in a hypnotically spellbinding musical journey"
- Mark Wirtz, EMI/Abbey Road producer/composer (Dean Martin, Helen Reddy, Leon Russell, Kim Carnes, and Anthony Newley.)
"Christine Leakey's Tapping Trees in a Trinket Box of Treasure is a luscious jewel-colored phantasmagoria with the depth and complexity of fine old bourbon or a Caravaggio.."
- "The Millionaire" from Combustible Edison (Michael Cudahy)
“This record is like a delicate cross between lounge music, faintly recalled childhood memories, and the wise, sturdy calm of a tall, tall, forest. Also I appreciate someone who thinks long and hard about album art. Sounds like: Trinkets of the heart”
~ Alan Cross
