earBuzz review:

Jill Carole, of northern California, has crafted a poetic and intimate collection of 11 original tunes in "The Easter Bunny, Sex and Santa Claus," featuring Carole's soft and secretly powerful voice and her creative and poetic lyrics - the reading of which, on its own, is compelling fare – add the fact that the musical performance of Carole and her bandmates is tight, solid, and straight ahead rock sensibility is icing on the Bearclaw.

Carole's voice is beautiful, a harder-edged soprano/alto and slightly reminiscent of Kate Bush in tone and phrasing. The writing is intoxicating – haunting personal lyrics are revealed in "I'll Try the Time Machine" – "...would you keep me if I changed my past?...and Mozart lived in a metaphor, he got his disease being Daddy's whore..."

In "Heart of Dixie," Carole asks the devastating "...when my heart is ash / will you go digging through the dustpile to get your dollar back?..." Lyrical metaphors for sex fill up "Red Fire Truck," "...my Cracker Jack jewels tucked under blankets, and your popsicle castles are cherry contagious / I suck a sky blue / then I'll extinguish..."
