Press Quotations:
"The Changelings produce a dreamy magical effect akin to a religious experience. What more can one say?"
--Flux U.K.
"Continuously delightful and pleasantly surprising, The Changelings always manage to introduce new sounds and elements to their music while remaining true to the lush, classical qualities that have earned them the respect and love by a diverse set of listeners. "
-- STARVOX
"Hauntingly intoxicating.....truly mesmerizing."
--Industrial Nation
"The Changelings bring traditional musical elements into a modern context of ethereal beauty. Their ingeniously crafted compositions will lift your spirit and transport you into a lush landscape of splendor."
--Outburn Magazine #4
"The Changelings embody a sound poised to take us into the new and better millennium."
--The Seattle New Times
"The music is an absolutely stunning blend of Baroque and Romantic classical, traditional Middle eastern and intelligent pop sculpted into subtly complex and drop-dead gorgeous arrangements filled with as much happiness as they are with sorrow. Listen to their music and be amazed."
--Carpe Noctem
...Regeana's vocals are a standout and backed by an elegant instrumental texture..."
--Black Lotus, Kirkland, WA
"Kudos to these talented, persistent musicians for ascending above
all expectations and appealing to an even broader audience--one on whom
the parallels between "traditional" and the The Changelings' neoclassicism
has not been lost. "
--Creative Loafing, Atlanta, GA
"Its something I think should echo through a deserted castle whose inhabitants have fallen asleep for a hundred years."
--Creative Loafing, Atlanta, GA"...a mystifying set of atmospheric songs ranging from the more avant-garde darkwave originals to a surprisingly compelling waltz to a folk song of the Sephardic Jews. The music itself is beautiful, sometimes evoking the Icelandic band Bel Canto. Though this band seemed an odd fit with the rest of the acts, the Changelings' performance was the highlight of the night."
--The Flagpole, Athens, GA"The serious and sacred tone draws the listener in..."
--Lee Henderson, The Howling, Greenville, SC"This is an absolute dream come true! The Changelings are empyreal. Blending medaeval, ethereal, classical and darkwave, they've created a superb masterpiece. The female vocalist has such a sweet, delicate yet powerful voice which weaves in and around the equally beautiful music. The experience is like that one lovely summer day at the water's edge one will remember in years to come. Highly recommended."
--In Raven's Eyes, Cleveland, OH
"A lush sound that should appeal to fans of thick-textured middle eastern flavoured styles. Absolutely wonderful."
--Ink 19"Music like an opium-soaked fairytale from the Arabian Nights..."
--Nyx Obscura, Atlanta, GA"A tremendously lovely blend of violin, dulcimer and mandolin supports keyboards and other 'modern' instruments, all melding with the caressing voice of the siren-like Regeana Morris. Celto-byzantine mood of rich purity...if you do not indulge in this you are missing a truly decadent experience."
--Through The Trees, Charlottesville, VA"I have fallen madly in love. Beautiful, haunting, swirling, swaying... This is brilliant."
--Wampior
