  • “Not unlike Lucy Dacus or Haley Heynderickx, with a lilt reminiscent of Mitski, Carli’s clear but tender voice cuts through the first few seconds like a call to attention... With thoughtful lyrics paired alongside gorgeous vocals and intricate instrumentation, “Mimi” is an impressively mature and promising debut, making Carli & The Dark an artist to keep an ear out for.”

    — The Wild Honey Pie

  • “Carli’s soft voice compliments the vulnerability of the lyrics, flitting effortlessly between notes and occasionally slipping into a beautiful, deeper tone... Dreamy yet realistic, “Mimi” is a brilliant display of Carli & The Dark’s vocal talent and lyrical mastery.”

    — Indie Witches

  • “(She) stopped us dead in our tracks. One of the best vocalists we’ve heard this year.”

    — No Depression Journal

  • "'Mimi,' the debut single by dream folk project Carli & the Dark, firmly establishes artist Carli Naff’s aptitude for magically realistic songwriting over the course of an atmospheric four-minute sonic novella, rendering hazy recollections of an evening in a manner that seems like an oracle’s visions."

    - The Deli

  • Naff's exquisitely pretty vocal lilt disarms you right away. Just the sound of her voice along with the lovely, light production carries you away before you are even able to absorb the meaning and poetry contained in the lyrics. That comes later.
