PRESS: 

  • NPR: "Cadiz has a voice that grabs you within seconds."

  • The FADER: "her Karen Dalton-meets-Joanna Newsom voice has an enchanted echo you wish would never end."

  • Stereogum: "Her yearning for simplicity is mirrored in a minimal but powerful arrangement, just one example of why this album will be the perfect soundtrack for wanderlusting." 

  • VOGUE:  "A meandering mix of country and folk that evokes the most isolated areas of the country and the people who call those places home.”

  • UNDER THE RADAR:  "Lines can be drawn between Cadiz and contemporaries like Sharon Van Etten, Cat Power, or Angel Olsen, but her vocals and songwriting shine with their own luster

  • Consequence of Sound “Instead of chasing love-filled folk tropes, singer-songwriter Malena Cadiz lays down earthy confessions that are deeply personal, landing her somewhere between Jessica Pratt and Laura Marling.”

  • WONDERLAND “A tapestry of introspection and grace,  inspiring listeners to trust their own timeline.”

  • Daytrotter “Cadiz chronicles the plights of the searchers, of the reachers, and of all those helplessly apart people operating deep below heaven. The landscapes she drafts up in these gorgeous songs are about winning and losing, usually a little of both, which feels natural.”

  • American Songwriter: "The galloping, lyrical ‘Neon Drag’ sounds like: vintage Bob Dylan meets Emmylou”

  • PASTE: “Cadiz may infuse her songs with folk, country and pop undertones, but the soft, carefully-constructed result is all her own.  On her latest album ‘Deep Below Heaven,’ Cadiz’s unique take on these classic sounds feels like an evolution, the kind that will continue to win over new fans while maintaining the honest voice on which her music seems to build.”
