“Sarah Ellquist’s powerful vocals put the icing on the cake of this talented indie rock act… a historic live performance in the IsGoodRadio studio.”
~ Jon Hershfield, IsGoodMusic.com
“This gal [Ellquist] has such a voice, and the song, “Wait a Minute Here” is gorgeous! The whole EP [Close Down the Woods] is really cool.”
~ Larry Little, Future Sounds (Live on Woxy – Episode #17)
“In case you didn’t know, “Wait a Minute Here” by Robotanists is amazing!”
~ Will Benham, New and Used Records
“…Mesmerizing, hypnotic, engaging… ROBOTANISTS are just REALLY good!”
~ Lindsey Darden, BeatCrave.com (April Fave)
“The dualism implied in the name of the Los Angeles band Robotanists is no misnomer. The quartet, led by husband and wife Daniel de Blanke and Sarah Ellquist, thrives on toeing the line between nature’s fragility and the imperviousness of cold steel.”
~ Kyle lemmon, RaggedMag.com / Filter Magazine (Spring 09 Emerging Artist)
"On their debut EP "Close Down the Woods," Robotanists root around in the electro-noir explored by Mazzy Star and Portishead, with Ellquist's sultry voice narrating the way through forays into the dark both metaphorical and literal. Their penchant for the atmospheric never becomes an overbearing aesthetic, though — you can take the title of one of their songs, "Subtlety Is Underrated," seriously."
~Kevin Bronson, Buzz Bands LA
"[Ellquist's] timeless voice is the venom that takes you under after you've let your guard down from the music underneath it. She sings from a place that isn't just lost in most singers of today, it's become completely uncharted and only the brave dare to venture there."
