“As a songwriter and a storyteller, Bower is a singular solo talent in the making.” -Andrea Warner, CBC
“Bower and her supporting cast craft densely emotional stories that linger long after you put this collection back on the shelf.” -Laura Stanley, Exclaim!
“Hauntingly beautiful.” -Canadian Music Blog
“Misha Bower is fluent in many languages: love, longing, joy; tempo, tone, form… Trying to Have it All reads like a dark, moody novella. -Jim Di Gioia, DOMINIONATED
“…a beautiful debut solo effort that's flown under just about everyone's radar. Bower's vocals remain haunting and lush, and I expect the slow-burning Trying to Have It All to have a long rotation here.”
-Adam White, Best of 2019, PUNKNEWS.ORG
‘Telling compelling stories about the human condition with both wisdom and wit, Bower describes this project as something that “pairs well with low lighting, night-time walks and fantasies about telling someone how you really feel.”’ -From the See Collective story by Kerry Ssemugenyi
“The nostalgic new music video for the title track from Misha Bower's debut album, Trying to Have it All [by Travis Welowszky] perfectly captures a summer-night staple: wandering the midway at the carnival, lights flickering, balloons popping, stuffed animals flopping against the legs of tired little kids, constant flashes of sound and colour interrupting the darkness.” -Andrea Warner
