"Roberts-Gevalt and LaPrelle share an insatiable hunger to find little wonders of folk music past. They've scoured various collections of old-time recordings and historical documents to mine for objects of inspiration. The songs of The Invisible Comes to Us were adapted from treasures they came across at archives like the Blue Ridge Institute at Virginia's Ferrum College and the Helen Hartness Flanders Collection at Vermont's Middlebury College ... Kudos to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings for signing this act. The label -- linked to the federal Smithsonian Institution -- mostly repackages older songs from American and world music traditionalists. It's encouraging - that the outfit has embraced a pair that is embracing the past while darting fully forward into an uncertain sonic future. The Invisible Comes to Us makes that ever so clear".

"Anna's enthusiastic integration into New York's experimental and improvised music community has clearly been a liberating experience. Always a highly accomplished musician, here she and co-producer Benjamin Lazar Davis subtly wreathe the songs in lovingly-crafted and surprising soundscapes. Elizabeth's still that extraordinary traditional singer who first bedazzled us with "Rain And Snow" back in 2004, but her willingness to explore these old song texts within a new, contemporary context has resulted in performances in which she sounds somehow even more authentically connected to her material. This time it's personal".
