I discovered the SBofL's first album by sitting on the floor of a thrift store in LA with my Walkman, sifting through mountains of CDs of bands I've never heard of. I probably bought one in thirty of the CDs I listened to, learning in the process that interesting cover art has squat to do with the quality of the music. That was many years ago, and now every note and nuance of that first album is ingrained in my mind from countless replays while driving alone at night; one of my all-time favorites, for any band, any genre. Compared to that album (I've yet to hear their second), 11i comes off as a bit more intense, somewhat edgier, with more electronica coming into play, and this is not a bad thing. Sakurai's mastery of the electronic, as well as the instrumental, elements is every bit as stellar as the first album, and Soriano-Lightwood's lyrics and voice again every bit as mesmerizing and seductive as well. When I first typed their name into Pandora Radio's search engine some two and a half years ago, nothing came up. I am pleased to see that they have become more recognized now. They have earned it. Their style is refined; pleasantly understated yet profound, beautiful.Read full review

Still waiting for an album to meet the level of the first one but this is still an effort worth having/listening to. Her voice makes music all on it's own.
