Here's what a few people have said about Soko^TM:

"One of the most tuned-in and sympathetic melodic/rhythmic combinations Charlottesville has produced."
—Fred Boyce, The Prism Coffeehouse

"Soko transforms pianist Mike Sokolowski's tuneful compositions into free-flowing accessible improv. Mike knows how to get into the heart of the piano, and drummer Johnny Gilmore and bassist Houston Ross form one of the tightest rhythm sections around."
—Greg Howard, Espresso Recording Artist

"Soko is a band I could listen to for three or four hours with my eyes closed and never want to be someplace else. Absolutely fantastic!"
—John Hill, host of "Acoustic Sunrise" WNRN, Charlottesville, VA

"Remember losing interest during math class in high school? While staring out the window, thoughts could float miles away from your immediate surroundings like dust on the wind. Soko's first CD release captures that moment, when a journey away from convention seems like the best idea."
—C-Ville Weekly

"There is a family of musicians in Charlottesville unlike anywhere I've ever been. It's people like Mike Sokolowski that make it so special. He's world class."
—Dave Matthews, RCA Recording Artist

"The Charlottesville-based group takes a basic melody line and paints a topography that runs from mambo to easy listening and even a touch of gospel thrown in for good measure. And along the way the listener is treated to one discovery after another, the music moving lightly at times, crashing in a roaring cacophony that is almost dizzying."
—Lexington News Gazette

"This is what pianos hear when they dream."
—C-Ville Weekly

"Soko's music is fresh and free melody"
—Jeff Hunt, host of "The Jeff Hunt Show" WVTF, Roanoke, VA

"[T]his is the type of album you will listen to with your eyes closed, simply floating on the music."
—Dupree's Diamond News
