REVIEWS OF HONORARY MEN
Marisol Limón Martinez’s Honorary Men . . . comes via Guillotine. It’s a complex work, juxtaposing its author’s own childhood memories with anecdotes about how she is perceived by strangers, by family, by colleagues. Adding another wrinkle to this is her background in music: the teacher who told her, “You play like a man”; the musicians she interacts with on a trip to India. Honorary Men asks big questions, but comes at them in unpredictable ways, venturing into distinctive territory and forming a narrative few others could.
- Tobias Carroll, The Zinophile, Vol. 1 Brooklyn. . . A fascinating, incisive essay by Marisol Limon Martinez, the essay weaves together childhood musical escapes, gender politics, and travel in India for a thoughtful look at identity, and the way our environment gives shape to who we are and who we are perceived to be.

For 5 nights at the Abrons Art Center, co-presented by the Chocolate Factory
May 11-12, 2012 (Friday & Saturday)
& 17-19, 2012 (Thursday - Saturday)“Most of the music, played at the back of the stage by James Galbraith, Marisol Limon Martinez and Michael Mahalchick, is art-rock or punk. It gives intermittent energy to the purposely pedestrian choreography, which now consists of the women rolling across the stage.” - The New York Times
"Encircling a pile of denim, pawing at it like animals at prey, the performers undertook the task of putting on blue jeans with no help from their hands, as the live band (James Galbraith, Marisol Limon Martinez, and musical director Michael Mahalchick) played a gritty rendition of Erik Satie’s plaintive “Gnossienne No.1.” - The Brooklyn Rail

REVIEWS AND PERFORMANCES: SMOKE & FLOWERS
"Smoke & Flowers is two girls who probably grew up getting yelled at for daydreaming in piano class. Brooklyn residents Jeanann Dara and Marisol Limon make music that reveals a deep respect for classical arrangements, but also a playful curiosity with modernity and all its loops & sampling...Their music sounds like a long friendship bracelet braided in with synth, live samplings, vocals, a viola, and keys. Dressed in girl-ish vintage with touches of galactic goth, the girls look like Tim Burton space dolls but deliver a hearty vocal harmony that sounds like the perfect soundtrack to a warm New York summer night, sitting on a fire escape facing the night skyline and smoking cigarettes until heat hits the fingers. Romantic and enchanting, they closed out their set with a flood of viola that vibrated through to the very fine hairs on the back of the neck." -AUDYSSEY PRESENTS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Smoke & Flowers will be doing an extra special hour-long electronic set at Legion Bar Friday night, the 24th at 10PM.
790 Metropolitan Avenue, WilliamsburgSMOKE & FLOWERS IN THE BROOKLYN RAIL
Marisol's band Smoke & Flowers in "Outtakes" in The Brooklyn Rail
"Smoke & Flowers is a collaboration between Jeanann Dara and Marisol Limon. They blend genres musically and explore the boundaries of romance and reality in a style that could be described as electronic chamber pop. The Brooklyn-based duo performs with the instrumentation of vocals, keys, synthesizer, viola, drums, and live sampling. Jeanann and Marisol combine their background in the classical arts with pop culture and poetic lyricism. They share vocal and instrumental duties, with Limon on piano and synthesizer, Dara on viola and live sampler, and a rotating cast on drums..." -THE BROOKLYN RAIL
