Monique Ortiz, the charismatic singer who leads the darkly beautiful pop group Bourbon Princess, describes their sound as "blue wave: new wave with a little bit of blues and jazz thrown in." With original Morphine drummer Jerome Deupree, Either Orchestra saxophonist/leader Russ Gershon and guitarist/pianist Jim Moran, Monique has transformed what was once a bass and drums duo into one of the most original bands to emerge from Boston. That's obvious from the first song on Bourbon Princess' new Dark of Days, a triumphant crystallization of Monique's artistic vision. It's the group's third album and a winning blend of sophisticated songwriting and contagious hooks, produced by Monique and engineered by Paul Q. Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead, Morphine).

Mix Magazine, March 1, 2005

Deep-voiced lead singer/songwriter/bassist Monique Ortiz has written a set of dark, moody tunes that are somewhat reminiscent in spirit to The Doors, Patti Smith and Nico-era Velvet Underground, as well as the Boston band Morphine, whose drummer, Jerome Deupree, plays skins in Bourbon Princess. Sax player Russ Gershon also brings some of that Morphine vibe, while guitarist Jim Moran lays down haunting lines that snake around the extremely prominent bass parts supplied by Ortiz. At times jazzy, other times more rockin' and hypnotic, Bourbon Princess has made an album that is both unique and uncompromising.
