"A genre-bending Seattle group rooted in funk and new wave but possesses the elasticity in its sound to encompass everything from hip-hop to house to hard rock."
“On 'L.A. Rose,' Furniture Girls show that art can be both reflective and revolutionary. This comeback is about reclaiming music as a place for truth. What you get with this song is an honest, cinematic, and lived-in one, a rose blooming defiantly out of concrete.”
“I've listened to 'Jean' and it has given me the vibes to get out of bed and live! ... They combine the Electronic and Rock/Punk elements very well ... they play very well with the futuristic/electronic and Punk theme.”
“Nice voice, good pop electronic, indie rock influences, interesting electronic instrumentation, riffs, bass, and a powerful percussion rhythm, catchy lyrics”
“As they close out their first decade, FG has been around the block a few times. One past reviewer described them as weird, fresh and funky; unlike other Seattle bands. That holds true, still.”
– Cindy Texeira, Northwest Music Scene
“This is what makes Furniture Girls so unique – their sound is convincing and yet substantially angsty … They take us on a textured and unpredictable journey with [their new] album, and it’s well worth the ride.”
– Annalise Watson, GIG Soup
“Streamlined and focused … Chaos is charismatic and convincing rock.”
“OK. This is probably no surprise. I’ve been saying for years that Furniture Girls is one of my favorite bands in the city. This [Dreams] CD has only reaffirmed that … this is one complete piece of music.”
– “Dave’s Northwest Best CDs of 2014,” NorthWest Music Scene
“Furniture Girls from the US dazzle ... a sleek fusion of electronic pop and rock. Futuristic synths, lush pads, and twisting bass lines weave around velvety vocals, creating a rich and immersive soundscape.”
– Bedlam Bookings (UK)
“[The music’s] got a blend of everything that’s comforting to those who like to rock. It provides a mix of rock with substance, a bit of angst and drama.”
– Mocha Charlie, Seattle Music Insider
“Rasping, commanding vocals. Garage rock with hints of varied influences. Kicking tunes. Think about a meld between The Runaways, Regina Spektor and Dum Dum Girls.”
“Furniture Girls are an amazing band composed of Seattle’s finest musicians and songwriters. If I had my way they would be on The Tonight Show tomorrow!”
– Matt “Doctor” Fink (Prince & The Revolution)
“The band infuses a soulsy, bluesy sound into its already cool, funky eclecticness on the new album In Shadows ... It’s a fantastic album—superb arrangements and emotive vocals. I played over and over in my car for weeks.”
“In Shadows is a diverse record, presenting a series of distinct soundscapes … [It] showcases the band members’ decades of combined experience through mature songwriting, thoughtful lyricism, and varied instrumentation.”
