No Ceiling Reviews:

BOSTON GLOBE, TOP 10
(along with Al Green, Santogold)

"One of this year's most memorable releases...a woozy, swirly little
gem of an album...It situates Haale in a particular tradition of
female rockers who balance electric-guitar frenzy
with the intimacy and alluring elusiveness of poetry."

JAMBASE, TOP 10 DEBUT ALBUMS
(along with Bon Iver, Deer Tick)

"Pregnant with explosive ideas and genre smashing sonics, the music of
Haale Gafori and partner in crime percussionist-producer Matt Kilmer
engages faith, politics and love in refreshing ways that understand
that lovely and terrible things coexist. Haale's inherent poetry leans
back to Patti Smith and Rumi, Jefferson Airplane and T.S. Eliot –
engagers of the world's saints and sinners that reveal the unseen
realm behind all things."

RED ALERT,  TOP 15
(along with Nick Cave, Vampire Weekend)

"After a pair of headturning EPs in 2007, Haale made her full-length
debut with No Ceiling - a vibrant pop album with a buzzing underbelly
of psychedelic guitars and bracing Eastern percussion. Despite the
ambitious variety of arrangements, everything comes back to her voice,
which conveys riveting emotional depth - from spiritual ecstasy to
sensual longing (or is it spiritual longing and sensual ecstasy?).
Expectations have been exceeded. No Ceiling indeed."
