Divide and Conquer - Matt Jensen - November 15, 2018
"The music is jazzy, dark, mystical and I thought it would work perfectly in the first season of True Detective...That being said the vocals are the star of the show. Jones is dynamic, sleek and mysterious when she sings. Her inflection fits the music perfectly...This is one of the more original releases I have heard this year. Take a listen."

No Depression - October 31, 2018
"She inhabits every line of the song with unique ferocity and demonstrates all-encompassing vocal control with her ability to vary her voice from hushed respect to muscular, elongated lines seemingly dredged up from fiery depths of her heart...Jezebel Jones has written and recorded an EP release no one else could have and, much to her credit, makes the weighty topics of death and bodily decay a compelling listen for music fans of every stripe."

Interview with VENTS magazine - RJ Frometa - October 30, 2018
Hi Jezebel, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?
Hi VENTS! Well, truth be told I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown earlier in the month…but am doing better now. Aren’t you glad you asked? Hahahahahaha! My dog Banjo and I are in rural Tennessee, getting some much-needed rest and enjoying the fall leaves and slower pace.

"And then you hear that voice. Intoxication. Poison Ivy. Sirens Call. With an enchanted rasp, and a whole lot of flavour. Echoing like a seductive spell of the contours of your realms (and the realms in between). With pure simplicity and witchy mockery – the priestess in the house."

"These peacefully poignant songs approach the subject of death abstractly with a kind of minimalist, meditative mindfulness. My favorite song on this release is Skull Rattles...Intellectually I find this album to be pretty engaging, and musically I found myself entranced by it. This is neo-folk music at its finest."

Beachsloth.com - September 23, 2018
"Done with great reverence, Bye Bye Banshee sculpts a beautiful piece of goth folk with “Deathfolk Magic EP”. By far the heart and soul of the entire EP comes from her thoughtful lyricism, which draws from folklore to create a compelling form of surreal storytelling. The laid-back grooves reveal a penchant for sculpting a lovely, lush atmosphere. Employing a wide swath of instruments within the mix the whole of the collection feels so engrossing. Layer upon layer of sound filters in and out of the mix, giving in a naturalistic air to it. Stylistically Bye Bye Banshee draws from chamber pop, classical, even the Avant Garde while maintaining an emotional core."

Skope Magazine - September 22, 2018
"In digging into the true hidden ability of Jezebel Jones and the group of musicians that created this album, ‘Bye Bye Banshee,’ has a truly contagious blend of sound that truly conquers folk music such as Ben Howard or Bon Ivor, except the vocals, curve definitively into a sound that is painful as the person in the song is preparing to make a transition onto death. Jezebel Jones has made a very, heavy folk sound that stands out as not many artists take chances of making dark music but someway somehow, Jezebel has left a mark that is undeniably easy to listen to."

Southwest Journal - Jim Walsh - September 5, 2018
"This new vehicle for Minneapolis songwriter Jezebel Jones is an ancient-sounding shot of swampy blues (“If I Die In My Dreams”) and witchy folk-rock (“Skull Rattles”) that makes for an extremely haunting trip into the afterlife via song."
