'All told, the foursome spent two years making 'Pleasant Stitch,' and it shows. It is multi-layered work with a lot of craft at the core. Nothing is tossed off; it is a purposeful project from start to finish, and it rewards listeners with something new every time out. It is a record of sounds, not necessarily songs, but the sounds make themselves into songs." - Jim Walsh, Pioneer Press
"Pleasant Stitch, rounded off by Sarah-Jane on vocals, is certainly not your average 'booty shaking' electronica. The music they create comes close to what Pink Floyd dabbed in for 'Dark Side of The Moon:' manipulation of brain waves through sound. Everyone's heard of brain waves, right? Then we all know certain sounds trigger specific brain wave activity. Think dreamy, cool, meditative. Think a sonic wash of gentle rhythm and more vocal styles than you thought possible coming from a single mouth.'

'This electronica outfit composes rich, romantic and gorgeously textured music. Sometimes flirting with Eno-esque ambiance, sometimes creating lush, Downtempo dance tracks, Pleasant Stitch don't just jump on the Alt Dance bandwagon, they make something entirely their own and beautiful.'
