Lucid Culture Review: Cloud Girl
"...Carol Lipnik's Spookarama evokes a Coney Island of the ear,
full of ghostly carnivalesque moments..."
—The New York Times
"...Lipnik's moody voice conveys the feeling of being stuck at midnight
in the middle of the winter in Coney Island, the neighborhood of her youth..."
—John Donohue, The New Yorker
"...a soundtrack to a lost soul's lonely stroll down a seedy New Orleans street,
there lulled into a derelict brothel by Lipnik's eerie multi-octave wail
and Spookarama's brand of blues, mixing voodoo and psychedelic.
The music steers for melancholy
by way of the carnival-esque and the creepy—‚no surprise, since Lipnik grew up
by the defunct funhouses and rickety rides of Coney Island..."
—The Village Voice
Carol Lipnik sounds like Diamanda Galas fronting The Doors
