The Comforters' songs evoke the spare, emotive style of early century Americana, loaded with pathos and a little bit of fear and loathing...Pia's voice seals the deal, it's haunting and enchanting.
Statesman Journal


“Transplants” is an offering comprised of tender Americana pop with female vocals and roots rock earnestness. Very melodic, and extremely alluring.
Smother

Transplants, is saturated with seemingly weightless songs. Pia's delicate vocals float over a loose acoustic guitar and keyboard melody, recalling Rose Melberg or Maria Taylor but with a more ethereal quality.
Eugene Weekly




Pia and Jason Robbins should be applauded for producing a collection of simple albeit deep songs that touch the soul.

"Transplants" is so beautiful that it is almost unreal...this is the cd you dream of for years.
Rootstime  Belgium




"The Comforters do exactly what their name suggests. They are a husband/wife team based out of Eugene, Oregon and together they make a lilting and joyful noise, full of melody and quietly seductive. Plenty of potential for a gentle sway around the kitchen to this one, folks."
lonesome music   UK




Every nuance and jutting segment adds texture to the songs from the rustic tones of a harmonica to the bucolic twangs of a steel guitar. The Comforters' music has wide appeal and is just pleasant to listen to on a lazy Sunday in any country.
Hybrid Magazine






The Comforters play acoustic Americana with beautiful and sparse instrumental backing…. the songs are tender with pop leanings. If the misery of your alienation, depression or heartbreak needs company, the Comforters will be a comfort to you.

The Comforters did a wonderful performance, which was somewhat remarkable considering there's only two of them...Their songs are melodic, mellow, and smooth, fronted by Pia's lovely vocals and backed by Jason's acoustic and electric guitar and Pia's keyboards.

On their album, "Transplants", The Comforters fill out their sound with perfectly placed harmonies and guitar solos... I like them the most when they bravely keep the music quiet, soft, and so slow it's almost still.
Ultra Indie Album Review




"With Jason’s masterfully crafted guitar licks and Pia’s whimsical vocal style, the two construct perfectly penned pop songs but put a folk spin on the lyrics, which is pleasingly gentle."
