"Sleep"
review!
May 14, 2010
Beverly Patterson recently wrote the following review for the Princeton Record
Exchange website:
Now here’s a great collaboration! Having initially achieved recognition in the
eighties as the lead singer of Wednesday Week, Kristi Callan has continued
to pad her resume with a string of shining moments. Aside from carving out a
nice solo career for herself, Kristi has also performed and recorded with famed
figures such as Dave Davies and The Ventures, and currently fronts Dime Box
Band. Active since the late eighties, The Jigsaw Seen is renowned for their
bewitching brew of psychedelic pop rock. Discs like “Shortcut Through Clown
Alley,” “My Name Is Tom” and “Zenith” are classics of their ilk, and
have dutifully awarded the Los Angeles band flocks of fans. Administered by
Kristi’s haunting vocals, “Sleep” stands as an electrifying slice of
orchestrated pop splendor. Built upon a solid foundation of classy string
arrangements and trebly guitar work, the quirky atmospheric tune, which
was composed by Kristi, sparkles with melodic radiance.
Dipping their toes into the Oasis songbook, Kristi and The Jigsaw Seen deliver a
drifting, dreamy cover of “Morning Glory,” set in an acoustic format. As
evidenced by this musically literate single, Kristi Callan and The Jigsaw Seen
make an artistically compatible team.

Website Babysue.com recently posted the following review of Kristi Callan and
The Jigsaw Seen's single "Sleep":
We rarely even spin singles...but we've really enjoyed releases by The Jigsaw
Seen in the past so we slammed this one in for a listen. This single features
two nice smooth pop tracks. The first, written by Kristi Callan, is a cool
modern lullaby with strings in the background.
The second track is a cover of the Oasis tune "Morning Glory." A nice
smooth spin...and this one sure whets the appetite for the upcoming Jigsaw Seen
full-length Bananas Foster (due out later in 2010)...

Website Mish Mash recently posted the following review of Kristi Callan and The
Jigsaw Seen's single "Sleep":
Former Wednesday Week vocalist Kristi Callan has teamed up with our favorite
modern-day psych garage band The Jigsaw Seen for a double-edged single release
called Sleep. Side one (as it were) is the title track, a self-described
"edgy lullaby" that has wall-of-sound guitar lines set against a
string section, creating a
dreamy atmosphere for Callan's soothing vocal lines. The perfect little indie
rock lullaby. And to help with waking up again, the group does a kinder, gentler
version of Oasis' Morning Glory, which turns the big guitar powerhouse original
into a purring kitten, complete with a hurdy gurdy droning in the background.
Just in case
you need a little time to wake up.
