	Jana Hunter - Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Hunter has been producing handmade copies of her songs for years to sell at shows, send to friends, etc. In fact, she herself is a handmade woman in many ways.
		But at the same time, Hunter’s two- and four-track recordings that often take place in her van and emerge as tape-hissed bliss folk are not an attempt at mimicking the past or trying to reproduce the anarchic.
		Still, Hunter herself would be the first to admit and celebrate Banhart and Cabic’s influence on her as a musician and a person.

	* Dusted Reviews - Jana Hunter * (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hunter came on the Banhart curated Golden Apples of the Sun, and then there was the Banhart/Hunter split vinyl on the Troubleman Unlimited label.
		Hunter’s androgynous vocals, whether doused in effects or brought us richly to the front of the mix, are really the centerpiece of these songs, and are showcased especially well in the two a cappella numbers “The Earth Has No Skin” and “Laughing and Crying” (a holdover from the spilt LP).
		Hunter’s guitar playing here is fairly understated, relying on bass notes and effects to create the dreamlike mood that pervades the record.

	Jana Hunter: Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hunter's "Farm, CA" appeared on 2004's Golden Apples of the Sun, the neo-folk compilation Banhart curated for Arthur magazine, and earlier this year the two singer-songwriters shared a split album on Troubleman.
		Professional links notwithstanding, it would be a shame to write Hunter off as a mere Banhart disciple or freak-folk footnote, as her captivating debut reveals a new, quietly radiant voice with its own strange, feverish luster.
		Although primarily constructed of Hunter's vocals and non-electric instruments, these songs otherwise owe very little to folk tradition, and instead draw much of their disheveled allure from her deliberately grainy, inorganic edits and overdubs.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Jana Hunter: Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom
		Jana Hunter would fit right in with Kimya Dawson, The Blow, Old Time Relijun and Mirah, but it's kind of refreshing to discover that she isn't signed to K Records.
		Hunter's voice and guitar are constantly distorted, and the string arrangements sound as if they're coming from a few rooms away.
		Although Hunter's plummy vocals have all the wonderful reedy qualities of a pre-bebop jazz singer, the recording's amateurish quality lends authenticity to the song's spontaneous "confessional" feel.

	Portland Mercury - Music - Night of the Hunter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Structured around Hunter's smoky voice, layered upon itself time and time again, and augmented with the sparest finger-picked instrumentation, tracks like "All the Best Wishes" and "Have You Got My Money" could easily remind somebody of, well, a haunted AM radio version of Patsy Cline.
		Hunter has been recording and performing in Texas since she was a teenager, but for years rejected the Lone Star State's musical heritage.
		Her brother John will join her onstage, but it's Hunter's deep, lonely, sorrowful, and warm voice that's going to be doing all the work.

		Jana Hunter is one of our favorite NY songwriters.
		Jana utilizes a distinctly homegrown, lo-fi production style filled with grainy overdubbed vocals, guitar and handclaps that gives her songs a deceptively rich depth of field.
		Hunter's portion of this album provides just the briefest tantalizing glimpses of her talents, her songs brimming with the same sort of unique promise one might've detected on Banhart's own early demos just a few short years ago.

	+++ neumu [ datastream ]
		Hunter said that Banhart and his people spent the night at her house and went to breakfast with her the morning after the show.
		These three, Hunter's favorites, start with the haunting "All the Best Wishes," which Hunter said was recorded "on four-track with a really bad microphone and a plastic bottle wrapped around the microphone, so that it would distort." That distortion was intended to mimic the distant sounds of old-fashioned radio, her primary inspiration for the track.
		Hunter said that she is working on a number of projects now, trying to revive Jracula, setting up a spring tour with Castenets and developing what she calls "an aesthetic" for her next solo album.

	:: Metro Pulse Online ::
		Jana Hunter has that subdued, slow, cadenced voice you’d expect to hear coming from some dimly lit living room after a stellar party.
		Hunter will describe her style as “crazy folk,” explaining how her music subtly shares a creative vein with the movies of David Lynch.
		Most of Hunter’s album is like a nightmare, as it embraces an elongated vision of doom, contained within an unapologetically eerie aura, made all the more resonant when Hunter adds her airy, almost ghostly voice and sparse guitarwork.

	Kevchino - Indie Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Jana Hunter will always have the distinction of being the first artist to have her CD released by Devendra Banhart under his new label Gonomonsong.
		Hunter is also an artist who obviously likes to experiment and stretch beyond the realms of the twangy guitar movement.
		If these are truly only demos, I’d love to hear what she can do with a full out studio recording but then again, those swanked up fully-equipped suites might not be able to contain an artist like this.

		Now Hunter's on her first big solo tour, being joined occasionally (including, in Portland), by aesthetic comrades the Castanets.
		As for you—you'll be able to kick back, close your eyes, and hear what a sad song in a tin can spilled out on a dusty road before you were born must have sounded like.

	KyndMusic/RightAction - independent music for independent minds
		A Texas-bases singer/songwriter of sorts, Jana was first heard (and featured) on the Banhart curated, Arthur-produced CD Golden Apples of the Sun and also shared a recent split vinyl-only release on Troubleman with him.
		And what she has done with her first solo release is simply remarkable.
		Even when she steps away from the desperation of her folk sounds, as in the almost childlike electronica of “K” Jana manages to inhabit a realm where contentment remains poetically beyond reach.

	Jana Hunter - "Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom" - Album Review - The Red Alert
		For fans of the two, listening to the first release on their new label will be a complete non-surprise; Jana Hunter fits seamlessly into their eccentric, lo-fi folk world, playing music that is emotionally affecting but also somewhat inscrutable.
		Hunter’s songs ache with a muted Americana loneliness, acoustic pop songs with pretty melodies deliberately obscured by distortion and rough-edged production.
		Her voice can sound one-note when relegated to background listening, an illusion that is furthered by the relatively simple accompaniments, but deeper immersion reveals a colorful spectrum ranging from ethereal spook to earthy warmth.

		As raw as road rash and as disarming as a child, Arlington, Texas, songwriter Jana Hunter is a jewel in the rough.
		At her eeriest best, the short hairs stand on end and small chills roll down your neck — a quiet intensity is embedded in the unadorned sound of her debut, Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom, the first release on Gnomonsong, Devendra Banhart and Andy Cabic's new label.
		A compilation of four-tracks, two-tracks, and music recorded on computer, the CD doesn't seem like the work of a onetime classical violin player: It has the musty scent of a recently unearthed, once lost recording from a lady recluse who spent her days porch-sitting and eking out a farm life in the dust bowl.

	CSIndy: Leaving the house (March 30, 2006)
		Before she opened for charismatic neo-troubadour Devendra Banhart a few years back, she'd been in a few bands in her home state of Texas and performed the occasional solo gig, but probably didn't have much in mind for her backlog of haunting, minimalist recordings sitting at home.
		The whole process of involvement with Banhart and friends (who call themselves The Family) has caused Hunter to warm up to her own growing visibility.
		Of all the responses to a doomed world, at least Hunter is now sharing, rather than keeping her songs locked up in her room.

	Jana Hunter/ Devendra Banhart Jana Hunter & Devendra Banhart Album Review - SoundsXP
		Jana Hunter’s rich, distinctive voice is the first thing you notice about her; it’s highlighted in two of the five songs on which her voice is accompanied only by handclaps.
		And the label believe that Jana Hunter “is the future shit”, which also makes this one to get if you like this sort of music.
		It’s not part of anyone’s grand commercial plan; it’s just out there because these songs need to be heard, and that’s the best reason ever for seeking it out.

		Jana Hunter's otherworldly voice isn't exactly what you'd expect to hear coming from a girl raised in Arlington.
		After appearing on the Devendra Banhart-curated Golden Apples of the Sun compilation, the enigmatic Hunter teamed with the freak-folk king to release both a vinyl split and a full length LP on the singer's Gnomonsong imprint.
		It's not casual listening, to be sure, but a voice like Hunter's can't help but sink its teeth into you, no matter how much static it's buried under.

		Still, few musicians are able to imbue their art with the kind of prescribed circularity that feels revelatory rather than lazy.
		With her debut full-length, Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom, Texas songwriter Jana Hunter doesn't always succeed at mixing free-freaking folk with lo-fi hymns, but she crafts a gorgeous noise in the attempt.
		Awash in echoes, perspectives and the sublimity of the occasional Casio, Hunter's sound is so big, it's invisible -- and yet so small, it's all you can focus on.

		JANA HUNTER - Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom
		Released on folk activist Devandra Banhart’s fledgling Gnomonsong imprint, Jana Hunter’s debut full length is everything you could hope for.
		Banhart is famed for being a figurehead of the American folk movement, ‘New Weird America’ if you will, and his beardy visage has guided us through a period which might well have been more difficult in less careful hands.
