​Call Me Spinster (from the album Call Me Spinster available on Strolling Bones Records)  (by Bryant Liggett)
They’re an Indie Rock Andrews Sisters armed with more instruments and grit. Amelia Jacobs alongside Rachel and Rosalie Graber are Call Me Spinster. The trio come loaded with the traditional guitar and bass, adding banjo, mandolin, ukulele, glockenspiel, harmonica, and “trash percussion” to zip through clever Pop, the instrumentation on their self-titled EP an exclamation point on the bright, airy, and at times Doo Wop vocals. “Here You Are” opens the record with a catchy bounce, gentle background ‘woo-woo’s’  eventually turning into call and response vocals as a twangy guitar solo introduces angelic harmonies. 
“Stop, Wait” is a modern dose of soul/R&B with subtle jangle guitar that hints at Funk, the keyboards offering a slight groove and different layers of vocals flying in from all directions. The phrase ‘I’m coming home to you’ is repeated over ambient instrumentation for “Long Hard Day”, an accordion coming in mid-song giving the tune the vibe of a movie-version canal ride in a Venice-gliding gondola. “Two Hearts” begins with those gentle vocals and lightly picked guitar, a throwback dash of AM Gold where drifting pedal steel floats with the vocals. Album closer, “Morning”, features gentle keyboard touched by xylophone chimes, the melody acting as both a lullaby and gentle wake-up tune. Call Me Spinster have dipped into different decades for influence; a dash of 60’s Soul here and a dish of 70’s sunshine Pop there, all translated with soft, gentle vocal delight.  (by Bryant Liggett)
