Quotes:
"When David Lynch stops fucking around trying to write his own music and goes back to directing, he must consider giving them a call for a prominent place on the soundtrack."
Here Comes The Flood (2012)
"It's always fun to discover what you think is a great new band but isn't actually new at all. This is the case with Brooklyn dream & power pop band Her Vanished Grace who have been making music for close to twenty years and are just as contemporary now as when they first started."
Aural Report (2012)
"…Fade Away off of NYC band Her Vanished Grace’s new album “Star-Crossed” reminds me so much of U2’s “With Or Without You” and Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away.” Like the glorious 2012 lovechild of the two! And I mean that in a total huge compliment kind of way. I love both of those songs and this jam has made me pretty weak in the knees too."
Dance Yrslf Clean (2012)
"The song ("Passenger") is taken from the New Yorker's latest LP 'See The Moon' and establishes Charles and Nancy Nieland as having the perfect vocal tag team to accompany the layers of sulphuric chords. "Passenger" has the undeniable feeling of an early nineties classic, with the fuzz and atmospheric theatrics finally relenting to the soaring voices. Brings you back and them forward."
MP3 Hugger (2011)
"The quartet's new album See The Moon is a sublimely dreamy collection of tracks that create a melodic atmosphere with subtle shoegaze tendencies. With swirling guitars, smooth bass lines, classically layered chords and lush vocals the LP is a mightily impressive body of work."
Believe In Sound (2011)
"The amazing, shimmering shoegaze-pop (which isn't the right genre at all, hold tight) of Her Vanished Grace is really rare. It's easy to slap "shoegaze" on it because it operates in that genre, uses all the right tricks and pedals, but at the end of the day it's hummable, it's upbeat, it's less about grey and more about that sort of blue light Didion talks about in the intro to her newest memoir."

"Without the experience of nearly two decades I would be surprised if BLUE would have even been possible, but Her Vanished Grace have undoubtedly reached an artistic peak by doing so without sacrificing what got them here in the first place."
Obscure Sound (2009)
"Their dreamy richly textured pop songs were recorded and produced by guitarist Charles Nieland, a man who knows his job after handling assignments for Deborah Harry and Rufus Wainwright as one half of the Super Buddha production team.
Here Comes The Flood (2009)
"Her Vanished Grace have released yet another fine album of strident, guitar-led alternative pop."
"...when Nance goes it alone her husky tones reveal the band’s true Unique Selling Point. She handles chugging pop (’Rush’), mid-tempo balladry (’Youth’) and head-spinning dreampop (’Disappear’) with an abundance of personality and style and ‘I Do’ is a heartfelt closer."
"I probably use the word “shoegazer” too much when describing Her Vanished Grace’s approach to songwriting. In truth the tag tells only half the story, Her Vanished Grace play much tighter than most acts in this genre. Not for them the willowy attempts at otherworldliness (and other “ness”es) but instead alternative rock songs with hooks aplenty."
