“The changeability of Lancaster’s music comes from their belief in being adaptive to others as an act of care, and from their vision of art as something defined by the relationships it creates.” – Sara Constant, Musicworks
“[Their work] balances a meditative solitude with speculative musing about human interaction and intimacy.”
– Terrance Hayes
“Defying genre, they veer from rich R&B to white noise avant-garde in one sweep of their violin bow.
- Gordon Rutherford, Louder Than War
