sliver of light beyond lovelorn tears.”
Chris Lambie, Rhythms Magazine, 2024
 

“A slow burning collection that builds to a gentle crescendo…”

- Samuel J Fell, The Weekend Australian, 2024

 

“Catherine’s art and music are sacred architecture, and “SWANSONGS” solidifies her status
as a peerless artist.”

- Dan Newton, Heavy and Weird, 2024
 

​

“There’s enough nuance in it for multiple listens.”

Further Praise​

​

“...redolent in parts of the ragged, eerie estrogen blues of PJ Harvey or the gaunt bluegrass sonnets of Gillian Welch”
(Album of the Month) The Age, Melbourne Magazine, 2009

 

"These unsettling blues-influenced songs simmer with a sense of noir, an impressive meeting of the earthy song-writing of Beth Orton with the grim undercurrents of, say, Portishead."
Barnaby Smith, Rolling Stone Magazine, 2015

 

“This album may have been hard to make, but its eventual birth marks Traicos as an artist of exceptional poise and talent, as many of us have known for years.”
Samuel J Fell, Sydney Morning Herald, 2018
