עולים Olim by The Elevators המעליות
"יצירה יפה ומגוונת, מנוגנת מצוין, שקטה וסוערת, ולפעמים גם פסיכדלית,
עם רוח נאיבית שוחרת טוב..."
- תימורה לסינגר, y-net
"A beautiful, varied work, excellent musicianship, quiet yet turbulent and sometimes psychedelic as well, with a well-meaning naive spirit..." - Timora Lesinger, y-net
