“Rhinestones has Standish and Yang reduce the sonic palette to the bare minimum, with her lascivious voice and his echoing guitar carrying the listener’s consciousness away. This sonic reduction generates images of large, nocturnal plains, the kind generated by Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See, Big Thief’s U.F.O.F., Cocteau Twin’s Victorialand, Atlas Sound’s Parallax or Mojave 3’s Ask Me Tomorrow. Rhinestones might not make it on most publications’ year end lists, but it is the sort of record that will be cherished and rediscovered by those who need it for many years. It’s the kind of music that, when you meet somebody for the first time and they share their appreciation for it, could signify a kindred soul.” - John Wohlmacher, Beats Per Minute
