notes
Sinforosa's dark, alternative sound is an intriguing one part jangly jazz-pop, part tangled gothic lullaby Employing a vast array of influences, Sinforosa brings together darker thematic elements with an inviting and sparkling sonicality to create a truly unique musical experience.
Listeners have compared Sinforosa to everyone from Bjork to Cranes to Shivaree, and Sinforosa's music fares well in that company with their exotic, sensual blend of coquetish voice and rich, textural music.
Traci Lee Nemeth's vocal stylings offer a dynamic range of emotion and expression.
Both playfully sweet and sinfully strong, she is the focal point of the Sinforosa experience.
On stage and on recording her infatuating voice is both delicious and dangerous, captivating and cool, and the instrumentation of Sinforosa's music cradles her voice in an intricately woven blanket of sound.
The luscious and mischievous vocals of Traci Lee Nemeth, dreamy acoustic and electric guitars of Krysztof Nemeth, propulsive and exotic percussion of Markus Kamp, and hauntingly melodic bass of Thomas Thompson make Sinforosa an inviting and intoxicating sonic presence, both on record and on stage.
Listen in, and discover why Sinforosa is such an intriguing hidden jewel in the Northwest Music Scene

The Love of Good Music
author: Rich StoehrOn every song on this album I can tell that it was made out of a simple love for good music. Though one can hear hints of The Sundays and The Cure on some of the songs, there's several styles of music present here, from serious and soulful to whimsical, and in the end it's unique as a whole. The standout song for me is the remarkable duet "Vertigo," but "Prairie Bride," with its rich vocals and stirring percussion, is also a high point, as is the moody instrumental "cloud:part." Sinforosa's performances on this album are on a par with any mainstream band, and actually better than most. Traci Lee Nemeth's vocals are truly gorgeous, adding just the right tone to each song with her unique and beautiful voice. Her voice quickly becomes the crystalline heart and soul of the album. Krysztof Nemeth's contributions are the many stringed instruments heard throughout, from acoustic guitar to the notes reminiscent of the Cure on "Snakedance." His performances and his backing vocals give the songs dimension and depth. The percussion layered in by the band's third member, Marcus Kamp, is nothing short of remarkable -- complex and rich, adding much more to each song than just a beat. This is the sort of music that I can appreciate just for how it sounds, and how it makes me feel when I listen to it. Here we see a truth that is often missed: a talent for performance and a love of music can create something wonderful to listen to.
Paradoxical expressionism on a good day.
author: pavandeep singhThis is great, it really grows on you, the vocals are hauntingly steeped in meandering expression...kind of naive yet sophisticated, coquettish yet deleterious...it's paradoxical, quite amusing even; but chillingy so. It may be visceral, it may summon you from dogmatic slumbers, in any case surrender yourself to the vibes, you'll be glad that you had.
