MORE REVIEWS: HAPPY FAILURE (2005)

“Lise Blaase’s vocals are extremely personal and expressive, at times longingly plaintive, other times with a touch of grit, and both a little unconventional and very clear at once. Comparisons to Tori Amos, Björk, Tina Dickow, and Henriette Sennenvaldt (Under Byen) are pleasant, but Lise Blaase stands out on her own. And she is also a talented songwriter. Just remember the name, ladies and gentlemen: Antophones and Lise Blaase.” — Gaffa

“Antophones manage to infuse enough personality and determination into their expression that you stay engaged, and we can confidently talk about considerable potential.” — Information

“The reward comes after a few listens, as the somewhat minimalistic music and Lise Blaase’s singing unfold beautifully. Lise Blaase can convey suffering, longing, seductive playfulness, and distressed concern.” — Aarhus Stiftstidende

“The music and vocals complement each other in complete harmony. Antophones means something like sound flowers, and that is exactly how the songs are experienced. They appear as flowers in their own autumn colors, tied together in a bouquet from Antophones to us.” — Undertones *****
