"Like a less quirky version of the Roches, their melted chocolate harmonies pour over everything."
"...some of the finest three-part harmony singing you'll likely ever hear."
"...beautiful voices, skilled musicianship...
...awe-inspiring folk...
...original tracks "Hearts Content" and "Broken Radio" unleash their haunting, soulful melodies."
"Raison D'Etre Releases New CD
...harmonies are woven together like well-made cloth--smooth and seamless."

Thursday, I started at Arnold's to see Raison D'Etre. The most gorgeous three-part harmonies I have ever heard. If you've never heard these ladies, you're doing yourselves a disservice. You need only to hear them sing "Broken Radio" to know that you're in the presence of musical genius.
