about

"A musical masterpiece." 5 stars
Mike Daly, THE AGE

"It's all done with such grace and simplicity, with such intimacy and honesty - lyrical and musical - that it insinuates itself into your life completely. This record is the finest thing Lisa Miller has done. It will keep speaking to you, moving you, long beyond this year. It's why it is unquestionably a great album."
Bernard Zuel, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"There might be albums as good that come out this year, but I've played it over and over and it's hard to imagine that there is going to be a better one. Morning in the Bowl of Night is a treasure, a thing of breathtaking, honest beauty." 5 stars
Noel Mengel, BRISBANE COURIER-MAIL

"A songwriter par excellence - her strongest collection yet, 11 shimmering, unblemished songs that reveal themselves over repeated listens - should act as an example to others, proving that the concept of adult-oriented music doesn't preclude richness, depth or texture." 4.5 stars
Guy Blackman, THE SUNDAY AGE

"This is a poignant, beautiful album, almost unbearably lovely in places, but underpinned with a steady resolve, revealing the sure hand of a songwriter who has something to say and the finely tuned tools with which to express it in a gently poetic, moving fashion."
Lauren Zoric, MESS+NOISE

"Sublime vocal skills - Miller is a first-class songwriter, and she takes her craft to new heights on album No. 5 ... her rich acoustic pop brims with hope, hitting a high point on the crunchy, seven-minute Love Will Carry You. In a word: stellar." 4 stars
Shane O'Donohue HERALD SUN

"Morning In The Bowl Of Night is the best record released this year ... songs of sublime substance ... it's real, raw and richly rewarding - from the heart and the heavens... no amount of money could improve it." 4 stars
Stevie Nix, mX
