"This CD has gorgeous harmonies and great lyrics. "Sometimes" and "Drawn" are the best tracks. Since this CD, Ty and Doris have joined with Nate Borofsky to form the incredible new group Girlyman. Girlyman is becoming very popular, and this Garden Verge CD is becoming scarce. Get it while you can."
Sweet and hard-hitting urban folk

"I listen to SHADOW OF A HABIT walking around New York City, and the opening riffs and lyrics of the songs get stuck in my head all the time when I'm not listening to it -- they're witty and raw without being cynical, and gorgeously lyrical without being sentimental or unsubtle. The Garden Verge might appeal to people who love the Indigo Girls or Ani DiFranco or Jonatha Brooke, but their sound is all their own. The opening track ("Shining Through") is soaring and charmingly tentative at the same time, and "Universal Kiss" is one of my new favorite songs -- it expresses the passionately ambiguous emotions of a new relationship with a sort of gritty eloquence. This track alone is definitely worth the cost of the album. What a great find!"
