"It's
no secret what Echo Park-based Elektra and band mate Ambi-D
are doing -- twee pop with honeyed vocals, tart lyrics and
twitchy beats. It might remind you of the likes of Talulah
Gosh, Lali Puna or Look Blue Go Purple."

"the electro-pop duo have generated a buzz on the
West Coast..."
- CMJ.com, 6/15/07
"Hearts of Palm UK win the twee-pop prize as Erica
Elektra's soft, lilting vocals fall over cutesy electronics
and bouncy bass."

"You'd think with all the electronic bits in LA indie
pop duo Hearts of Palm UK's songs that they might sound
better on your stereo or in your car than in-person at some
music venue, but you know what? They're pretty amazing live.
Lead singer Erica Elektra's voice is as clear as a fucking
bell and, you know, who isn't a complete sucker for the
glockenspiel?"
- Radio Free Silver Lake, Band of the Week,

"How do you make an indie pop band? Take some Camera
Obscura, mix in some Stereolab, add a pinch of Go-Gos and
some Human League… voila! Hearts of Palm UK."
