The music shimmers with sometimes dark, sometimes inspirational, always thoughtful songs.

:: Steve Morse, The Boston Globe

Flanders & Adler create lush musical architecture. Flanders’ lyrics don’t shy from occasional references to the Bible, Shakespeare and ancient Greek myths. At the same time, her core subjects are anything but arcane. Her characters are typically caught up in the highs takes searches for love and spiritual awareness. Sometimes, as in “Bury My Lovely” and “Falling Farther In,” they are haunted by wounding experiences in their pasts.

:: Mike Boehm, The Los Angeles Times

Flanders’ stories are snippets of real life—absorbing sonnets of loneliness, distant spirituality and self-awareness.

:: John Hayes, The City Paper

Mature, ethereal rock.

:: The Providence Phoenix

October Project’s music embraces you, and magically breathes new life into your soul’s deepest emotions, perhaps causing a current joy to shine with unexpected brilliance, or a long forgotten hurt to once again sting.

:: Michael Hopkins, The Philadelphia Weekly

The songs are very personal yet very accessible. What I like about the album is the combination of grand, beautiful melodies and a solid rock groove that reminds me of Peter Gabriel.

:: Susan Richardson, Rolling Stone Online

October Project has quietly, subtly, almost subversively defied the flavor-of-the-minute mentality by laying the foundation for a successful career, producing music that is daringly uncompromising in its ethereal, dignified, deeply felt, almost classical beauty. It is unlike anything anywhere else.

:: Al Muzer, NJ Newsbeat

Each gentle song builds on the preceding one culminating in a near-mesmerizing finished product that uses understated pop melodies… as spell-weavers.

:: Howard Cohen, The Miami Herald

Their two albums are at once warm and haunting, powerful and fragile, mysterious and familiar.

:: Maria Blackburn, The Detroit Free Press

Flanders’ songs are of lost connections, finding memories, hidden forces, a metaphysical love that seeks the spiritual through the personal.
