“Those familiar with the production team of Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake may feel at home with Wilhelmina Baker’s backing tracks: Otherworldly electronica flirts with Tom Waits-inspired gutter jazz. A shock comes when Baker’s vocals kick in: Her amazing, operatic elector-arias fill any room she plays. It seems like it shouldn’t work, but it does, in pretty much every way. - The Onion, September 2005”
“Wilhelmina Baker’s collision of opera, storytelling, and unsettling whimsy might remind you of a time when artists like Tom Waits still puzzled listeners. Mastermind Nicole Gruter’s skilled, operatic singing helps to tie together unholy delights that encompass everything from electronic glitches to creepy medieval chants. Don’t fear Gruter just because she thinks of all this stuff; fear her because she somehow tweaks it into eerily effective songs. - The Onion, November 2007”
