The ladies of Divine Isis met as members of a larger all female rock band. Over time the chemistry between the three became apparent and they decided to form something new, something that would not easily fit into any one genre. Eliza, a classically trained musician, brings complex piano driven arrangements that are rich with dynamics. Lace comes from a hard rock background that alternates melodic and distorted guitar. Angel’s steady drum beats and Geoff Goodwin’s thumpin bass guitar (added late 2011) provide a strong and unique rhythm section. Eliza and Lace have both fronted bands previously and their voices also compliment one another. Eliza’s rich and sexy alto blends easily with Lace’s higher, soulful range, giving them the freedom to evoke any mood or meaning they please. The music has evolved into powerful female driven rock. Whether they are righting wrongs (“You are not my savior, you are not even a hero”) or crafting a steamy tribute that is the female answer to The Lemon Song (“You’re staring at my lips, my hips… Can you still feel me on the tip of your tongue?”), these ladies will move you…

"A distinctive and gifted duo consisting of Sara Crawford and Geoff Goodwin, Pocket the Moon and their new self-titled LP demonstrate imagination and brilliance and undoubtedly justify their achievement of the 2011“Best New Local Act” title from the Creative Loafing Best of Atlanta survey. An indie two-piece with folksy and electronic flavor, Pocket the Moon delivers a striking instrumental and vocal delight with a slightly dark and somber aesthetic.
“Sleepwalking”, a heavy-eyed track with warm piano and tight drum recordings introduces the listener to Sara’s haunting and moving vocals as she chants “It was only a dreammmmm”.
With its novel combination of instrumentals and electro elements, “Rooftops” delivers the fragility and harmony of an Azure Ray hit—especially with the elusive vocals of Sara Crawford.
“Falling” has an electro tinge and exhibits a refreshing darkness and edginess—the perfect song for driving home from downtown at 4 am. This song almost has a shoe gaze-like appeal—to the point where one might be convinced it came straight off of a Sneaker Pimps album.
“Hipster Haircut”, a more indie/folksy track provides a change of pace with refreshingly clever lyrics. “I hate your trendy hipster hair. Did you get that to impress the anorexic painter so you can stay out late with her on the futon that you stole from me?” Employing unique features such as the xylophone and trumpet, “Peters Lament” provides a folksy, sing-a-long ballad, with the staple subject of lost love." - Claire Morgan / The Blue Indian
