“ … a kind of fantastic take on lust and predatory sexual behavior.” — LA Weekly
“GlitterMouth sounds like the soundtrack to a Raymond Chandler novel…Ms. Travis is a chanteuse par excellence”
— SF Bay Guardian
“The [songs on GlitterMouth] have complex pedigrees, yet the music – particularly such trip-hop-flecked tracks as the airily soulful ‘Grace’ and the erotically obsessive ‘Le Petit Mort’ – feels more contemporary than anything [Travis has] done…. The irony is sharp as a bodkin.” — L.A. CityBeat
“Impress your friends when Abby Travis gets big 10 months from now.” — Alternative Press
“This sultry songstress is redefining retro-cool.” — Request
“A mixture of elegant melodicism and brooding melancholy, underscored with a touch of rock’s glamour and snarl.”
— Portland Oregonian
“ … an artist who’s got the goods.” — Sacramento News & Review
“Conjuring images of mink sliding from bare shoulders and a dead-dry martini in a chromium-plated cocktail bar, her music is sweet as poison. The production is flawless…. Remarkable in every way, and highly recommended.”
— Mean Street

“[GlitterMouth] simply put, is fabulous.” — Entertainment Today
“…an intense amalgam of style, lyrical beauty, and powerful insight into the depths and depravity of the human spirit. On Glitter Mouth, Travis reaches in and massages those tender parts of us we prefer not to expose while soothing us with her warm, passionate vocal embrace.” — Blogcritics.org
“L.A.’s Abby Travis occupies a category of one…. GlitterMouth is a sleek affair that demonstrates her mastery of glam-rock tropes while stirring in slinky R&B, torchy ballads and off-Broadway broadsides. ‘Now Was,’ a stunningly ambitious tune about the ravages of time … explodes into one gloriously melodic section after another as she harmonizes with herself and lays down one of the hottest bass lines ever.” — Editorializing
“Abby Travis is good. Though she has the kind of cultivated looks that can make people both take notice and not take her seriously, Travis is nonetheless a terrifically talented pop singer and songwriter. But it’s her bass playing that’s her not-so-secret weapon. Her lines are packed with the restraint and release borne from extensive session and side-man experience, and urge the arrangements toward crescendo and catharsis. -Bass Player
“A sultry collection of smoke-filled ambience and subtle electronic touches, making Abby Travis’ latest musical outing a modern music-noir treat.” -Regen
“…Glitter Mouth is an evilly sophisticated dark-pop cabaret that, by fadeout, leaves a definite residue of Hollywood-as-Weimar.” -Los Angeles City Beat Best of Los Angeles Issue

-LA City Beat
