"For melodic sweep, the prize goes to Holcombe Waller, whose self-released Extravagant Gesture is a small pop epic."
-Ann Powers, Revolver Magazine

"He's got the crazy-beautiful, four-octave voice of an androgynous seraph, but he's really a coffee-house troubadour from San Francisco and a classically trained pianist, a jazz saxophonist, and a visual artist."
-Kate Sullivan, Spin Magazine

"Deceptively complex."
-Paste Magazine
