"You can practically hear the gentle fall of snow and see the drift at the tail end of a mid-winter storm in the melancholic and melodic music on the duo's debut EP, Prize Enable. It has the same chilling-yet-stirring, darkly hypnotic quality that made Chelsea Wolfe's Pain Is Beauty, also released last year, so striking. A sense of movement characterizes Plume Varia's compositions, but the pace is still deliciously languid, recalling down-tempo bands like Portishead and nightmarish dream-pop acts like Cranes. The Cobbs developed their sound beyond the promise of that debut EP by playing the underground circuit in Denver, but Plume Varia won't stay obscure for long." - Tom Murphy - The Denver Westword - 3/2014

"...Cherie's magnificent voice floating over a minimalist piano accompaniment, all thrown into a shadowy hinterland by Shon. It's affecting and moving, and if you ever loved the painfully intense soundscapes of This Mortal Coil, you may find yourself falling for these songs big time." - Isolation Records, UK - 03/2014

"...They have that sort of Portishead vibe with heavy drum and piano heavy layered instruments. The vocals are sexually reminiscent of an old school smoky lounge singer.Put on a fine suit, get a scotch on the rocks, and max out to this little ditty."- SYFFAL, US - 02/2014

"I love the noise emanating from metro Denver these days. I tell you now: I have not been disappointed lately in the rich tunes this town is writing. And just when I think I’ve turned over most of the rocks, a husband-wife duo comes along and hypnotizes my face. As someone who also makes “spouse music,” it is particularly exciting for me to give the Stubborn Sounds thumbs up to Plume Varia." - Stubborn Sounds Music Media, Colorado - 02/2014

"Plume Varia’s “Bend” is a masterfully composed song with a plethora of well arranged musical layers that all come together seamlessly and contribute to the overall mesmerizing appeal of the song. Poetic lyricism and intricate, yet well executed, minimalist production provides the perfect sound landscape for Plume Varia’s ethereal vocals." - New Music Charts Magazine - 02/2014

"...applied with a deeply demurred torch trimming upon a divinely spectral neo classical underpinning...an astral love note traced in the most alluring nocturnal noir soul motifs, a lunar apparition buoyed on the merest of vapour trailed whispers, in short perfection." - The Sunday Experience, Liverpool UK - 12/2013 - marklosingtoday.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/plume-varia/

"Upon first listening to Plume Varia, I was stunned. I found myself completely immersed in the music, it was like being incased in a title wave of emotion; and I didn't want to be set free from it. One listen to Plume Varia and you'll mind will be wondering through the dark atmosphere with the stars. Plume Varia has an intensity in which I haven't heard in a very long time." - Sparrow Music Blog, US - 12/2013 - sparrowwren.weebly.com/1/post/2013/12/plume-varia.html

"Totally carried away by the midnight, thrilling piano pop that this Denver duo has crafted. Prize is a haunting piece of melancholy pop with Cherrie’s deep, alluring voice controlling a lost in the woods experience with the red riding hood to switch between Lana Del Rey and Cat Power. Remember this name: Plume Varia!" - Sound Injections, Athens Greece - 03/2013 - soundinjections.tumblr.com/post/46608545004/plume-varia-prize-totally-carried-away-by-the

"Writing for Rift has given me the opportunity to hear a lot of great local music, but I love stumbling upon the rare song, or songs, that blow me away and Plume Varia’s blew me away." - Rift Magazine, Minneapolis MN - 04/2013 - riftmagazine2.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/plume-varia-prize-enable/
