Reception

Reviewing a show they played in New York, Impose Magazine wrote, "Brigid Dawson's backing vocals are the band's silver lining". ^[8] Soundscapes noted in an album review, "Once again, Dwyer’s secret weapon is Brigid Dawson, whose vocal interplay gives them a leg-up in the male-dominated garage rock scene." ^[9] Her voice has been compared to Kim Deal ^[10] and Exene Cervenka, ^[11] among others.
