"Elsa Hewitt has created beautiful music on the border between electronics and singer-songwriterian. Just. It does not need any additional epithets... One can hear the enormous self-confidence of a young producer in this, resulting from undoubted talent and sense in creation..." - Nowamuzyka
"Some of her work is like chiming cartoon birdsongs, some of it like knitted cirrus or a cove-caught sea of whispering mouths. There are plenty of loopers and glitchers about, but few who can make their work sound so organic and subtly potent." - Misfit City
"Yorkshire's finest continues to marry quantity with seeming effortless quality." - Slow Music Movement
"A unique and unpredictable new talent Hewitt is one to watch." - Twisted Soul
"Hewitt is consolidated as one of the most interesting exponents of the electronic avant-garde in the United Kingdom..." - Reverberacion Amarilla
"I think Hewitt makes music partly as an act of self-care, and the enveloping, immersive nature of her sound-world translates that compassion directly to you - and we can always use more of that in the world!" - An Earful

Premiere: Elsa Hewitt – Things To Say

"Like fireflies shining in the forest dark, the track has dark undertones which will never overpower and finding itself somewhere between Burial and Julianna Barwick in the metropolitan city streets, ‘Things To Say’ comes as a highly recommend sample of this fine developing artist."

Elsa Hewitt – Birthday Roof Party (TS Premiere)

"Playfully experimental it’s a track that you can play again and again without ever getting bored. A unique and unpredictable new talent Hewitt is one to watch."

Elsa Hewitt releases new single

"Tantrum, beautiful in its simplicity, with touches of sharp yet seductive skits, at the centre, the result is an ethereal RnB-like ballad built on electronic textures and Hewitt’s feathery vocal."

Elsa Hewitt – Pop Tuna (TS Premiere)

"Bubbling with scintillating electronics, experimental beats and her heavenly vocals, you’ll have this track lodged in your head for a long time."

Elsa Hewitt - Hope is eternal

"Her dubstep touches do have some of Burial’s sinister overtones but are usually in perfect sync with Barwick-like subdued vocals. And although Hewitt also uses her voice as a part of the soundscape she creates, unlike Barwick, she does introduce lyrics, making a song like “Per Aspera Ad Astra” (she does like Latin, doesn’t she?) and “Tantrum” word-full, instead of wordless soundscapes."

Elsa Hewitt - Dum Spiro Spero
Género: Electrónica / Experimental

"Hewitt is consolidated as one of the most interesting exponents of the electronic avant-garde in the United Kingdom..."

Record Roundup: Eclectic Electronics

"Hewitt continues to establish herself as electronic doyenne of the first order."

"combining tender vocals and production (and more excellent live visuals from Sam Boullier and Alex Campbell) to give a swooning, homespun sound akin to Inga Copeland’s excursions as Lolina or that bewitching Tirzah LP from last year."
