DAGMAR: PRESS

Dagmar's "Door No. 2" is a "Top Pick" on Boston radio station WERS: "Ethereal yet edgy folk . . . enchanting, almost haunting songs . . . each track takes its listener on a journey of varied sounds and emotions . . . a mystical tale set in a modern cityscape"
A wing and a prayer: Boy meets bug in Beverly composer Jim Bauer’s new rock opera
I can tell these people are serious musicians . . . This feels like high art, performed in a loft space with people wearing berets. If that’s you, go to dagmartheband.com and buy this record. It comes in cool packaging too!
Duncan Wilder Johnson - The Noise (Nov 1, 2006)
"Dagmar traffics in dark, arty rock that can bring to mind The Residents."
Jay Ruttenberg - Time Out New York (Jun 14, 2006)
"...what anchors the band is the singers' voices: his is weary and experienced, hers is hauntingly beautiful, and they play back and forth over (music) that is equal parts rock fury and jazzy resignation. Their energy, even as they sing about wanting to stay in bed all day, is contagious."
Brian Richichi - Richichi Reviews (Oct 5, 2005)
DAILY PICK: "Dagmar brings rock 'n' roll to our favorite underutilized art form, the song cycle. Best of all, one of the musicians actually dons a pair of wings. Go song cycle! Go!"
L Magazine (Jan 24, 2006)
"The best thing since...THE WALL or TOMMY...halfway through the first song, we knew we were about to get our heads blown. She's this fierce rock goddess, this experimental diva who made us think of Kate Bush."
