Description
"Rippling through Bebek's eponymous CD and its tuneful blend of ire-filled guitars, schizophrenic keyboards and bipolar rhythms are the modal, clarion tones of singer Lynn Michalopoulos. Her prayerful emotiveness, wrapped around husband Nick's allegorical tales of familial strength ("The Bricks"), loss ("Grace 6 5") and love ("Frozen"), makes for a strong, challenging potion. Bebek is a heady elixir worth imbibing. (A.D. Amorosi, Philadelphia Inquirer)
"There is a strange chemistry in the music of Bebek - a cauldron of squiggly electronica, liquidy cabaret pop, flip jazzy refrains and sinewy Middle Eastern-flavored world beats." (Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News)
"Bebek formulates a stunning blend of pop-electronica-world-jazz that will entice you and suck you into their world." - Keith "Muzikman" Hannaleck, Evolving Artist.com
"With its dramatic plexus of electronics and jazzy chords applied to pliant hip-hop/dub rhythms, Bebek's [CD] is otherworldly...[and] beautifully foreign, a mix of gnarly guitars and bouzouki...all haunted by the unaffected clarity of vocalist Lynn Michalopoulos." (A.D. Amorosi, Philadelphia City Paper)
"Bebek...[possesses] their unique brand of trip-hop. Dubby bass lines, wonderfully gorgeous female vocals, danceable drum beats.... operatic harmonies...complex cabaret rhythms along with a good meshing of genres...separate them from the blossoms of other trip-hop outfits."
J-Sin, Smother.net
"Philadelphia's budding Bebek possesses a sneaky infectiousness that hints at a bright future." (Doug Wallen, Philadelphia Weekly, 2004)
"On its recent EP, [Bebek] this mellow Philly act offers yet more links between such secretly oft intertwined and hippie-beloved subgenres as trip-hop, goth-pop, dub, worldbeat [and] jam bandification." Eddy, Village Voice - "Voice Choices"
"...From Nero Catalano's trippy and versatile guitar (along with some Middle-Eastern flavor from his bouzouki playing), to the unabashed lounge jazz of bassist Jameison Ledonio and drummer Aaron Roussakis, to the cool electronica of keyboardist Nick Michalopolos, Bebek's music is perfect for a variety of venues. Add on Lynn Michalopoulos' soaring voice and you have a fresh and original sound...this album is chock full of surprises..." Carl J, Regenmag.com
"Bebek's music...is rock with a Mediterranean flavor, terrific mystique and exotic trappings that are just far out enough to demand your attention." DJ Johnson, Cosmik.com
"...While many will be drawn to Bebek by their diverse musical styles, others will be enthralled with Lynn Michalopoulos' incredible vocal prowess. Their self-titled debut album is an excellent introduction to a band that have an extremely promising future. We can't wait to hear more." --Russell Elliot, Musicaldiscoveries.com
