“Uncharted Territory is a great collection of emotive, well composed, earthy rock & roll songs with that indie edge that’s always been a massive part of the Michele Ari sound. Her creative fire has been re-fuelled and she sounds stronger both figuratively and literally. There is a natural , effortless easiness to what most definitely wouldn’t be effortless or easy. She’s been through the wars - and this is her story. Intimate, confessional and bittersweet. Maybe music like hers never existed until right now - but regardless, here it is, and it sounds like something new to me.” Alan Braille, Subba-Cultcha-London

"These songs ring true (even if you are a guy and therefore on the wrong side of the fence) and that makes the post punk songs on this EP all the more resonant. With so much faith placed in transitory fame these days, it's a relief to encounter an artist who tells it straight. It's actually difficult to do but Ms. Ari neatly avoids the pit of angst and self pity and makes it all real for us. I've never even met her and I already like her." - Bluesbunny, UK

Remember the climax of 10,000 Maniacs' Eat for Two when Natalie Merchant's bare voice fades from view with the fragility of a little girl? That's how Florida-based singer/songwriter Michele Ari's debut album, 85th and Nowhere, opens with the jangling first cut My Sleeping Beauty. Sounding nothing like most of today's few female alternative-rock vocalists, who are often lacking the emotional rush of their '80s predecessors, Ari has a bittersweet vocal style that is at once enigmatic and revealing.“ - Adam Harrington, Whispering and Hollering, UK

"This album fills a void in today’s top ten, infusing it with some much needed sophistication and thoughtful songcrafting... think more performance art poetry than pop charts."- Indie-Music.com
