The CD was produced by Seamus Egan, founder of the Irish super group, Solas. The project was released on acclaimed songwriter Ellis Pauls label, Black Wolf Records and has quickly attracted international attention for Antje. This release was voted #1 Folk Release of 2006 by the Boston Globe and was named to the Top10 Releases of the Year by National Public Radios Folk Alley.
"This is a brilliant, brilliant album. I have had this reaction once in the last 10 years and that was the first time I heard Patty Griffin.
- Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone
Duvekot has gotten hotter, faster than any local songwriter in recent memory. Her songs feel at once fresh faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice. She believes in the redemptive power of the shared secret; and is utterly unafraid to mine the darkest corners of her life for songs that turn fear into resilience and isolation into community.
- The Boston Globe
"When I first heard Antje I knew I was witnessing something very special. She creates an entire, detailed world in verse, and takes you there with beautiful and understated melody. Her songs are stunning paintings of color and shade and always generate the heat and light that real art should. In an unpoetic and 'in your face' world, she is lyrical and subtle."
- Neil Dorfsman, producer of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Sting
