"This husband-and-wife tag team (writer-slash-filmmaker Tony Kapel on drums and visual artist Maite Urrechaga on guitar) is an adorably angst-y indie rock kinda thing. Just imagine if pre-divorce Kim and Thurston of Sonic Youth took a couple's retreat to Japan, got real deep into Tokyo cat cafe culture, and decided to record a concept album in the hotel bathroom."

- Sean Pajot, Miami New Times

"Part band, part immersive sound project, Miami's Pocket Of Lollipops is an exceptional musical experience. Made up of Maitejosune Urrechaga and Tony Kapel, the duo explores a wide landscape of noise and noise-making techniques. This band delivers not only original and well-crafted music but a wonderful encounter with the bizarre that transcends artistic boundaries."

-Jasmine Bourgeois, TomTom Magazine

The musicians appeared to play intuitively, with distinctive personalities that nonetheless drew from a single source. The music can make the listener feel as if he also were floating. The musical performers create a theatrical setting of continuous interconnected changeovers to accommodate the sounds. In conclusion the audience is treated to Lollipops an invention that is something of a mystery that dates back to the middle ages.

- Colleen Dougher, SunSentinel

Whatever your preference, music and art pretty much always go well together, and sometimes great artists make great music. That is the case with husband and wife team Tony Kapel and Maitejosune Urrechaga make both art and beautiful music together.
