"Dangerous Fruit reveals a confident singer boasting a collection of torchy techno pop in the vein of Zero 7 or Morcheeba... the result is a poished album that feels fully realized and amplifies the drama and sophistication..."
“Dirty Martini’s Stephanie Schneiderman is going from strength to strength. She explores a heartfelt electro-pop direction... gentle piano, programmed drumbeats and her delicate, processed vocals…it’s a beautiful song and represents a fascinating new direction for Schneiderman."
“Philadelphia debut...serving up a different style of music...combination of pop, trip hop, soul...took her songwriting and music to a new level."
“A gorgeous diversion from this erstwhile folk/pop talent… she gave her songs and her silken voice over to sound artist and producer Keith Schriener, who wrapped them both up in crinkly, metallic-tinged electronic wrappings and warm, engulfing layers of ambient synthesizer noise… has fully inhabited the role of down-tempo diva on her latest album, "Rubber Teardrop." The album opens with three gorgeous tracks that Schneiderman throws her whole person into. She takes a come-hither tone on album opener "Hush" that melds into AutoTuned pleas over heartbeatlike beats on "River Stone," before she curls up into the smoky, lovelorn "Anchor." It's quite a transformation and a tribute to her pliant, engaging voice.” — Robert Ham
“...stronger electronic component, with a heavy awareness of groove and harder beats...it was downright sexy!" — Luciana Lopez
In Schreiner's hands, the tunes' subtle shadings and bits of texture take on a distinctly different character, one that is part Zero 7, part Beth Orton, but wholly Schneiderman's own." — Corey du Browa
“Shoegaze goddess Stephanie Schneiderman and her delightful trip-hop/folk…Schneiderman’s vocals are most definitely demanding of well deserved auditory attention. The songs she writes are obscurely beautiful as they drift over electronic beats… will absolutely drop you to your knees... This is human experience in the greatest musical sense imaginable. This is good stuff.” — Ron Trembath
“With electronic producer Keith Schreiner,[Schneiderman] transformed from mere singer/songwriter to heartfelt electronica pop queen. The two musicians have fine-tuned this metamorphosis with a second collaboration entitled Rubber Teardrop. Schreiner is versatile, moving through ambient background textures to upbeat dance tempos, always coming up with just the right landscape for Schneiderman's moving lyrics. Together they've found a formula that renews the relevance of a talented songwriter and opens all kinds of possibilities for respectfully expanding into the larger pop music realm.” — Ava Hagedus
“You can hear the two settled into their mutual roles as artist and muse…to create an intimate and sexy LP that demands repeat listens just to catch up with every noise and lyric that drifts through it... sultry vocals with supple beats and skeins of gorgeous ambient electronics… It is that push-pull with putting personal matters... that makes Schneiderman’s work—both on her own and with Dirty Martini—so exciting.”— Robert Ham
“A seemingly effortless blend of rippling electric beats and Schneiderman’s lullaby-like, laid back vocals with a sound similar to Death Cab for Cutie. Schneiderman’s vocals are deep, whispery and ethereal… moving behind subtle, ominous electric sound effects that slowly become more textured and colorful… exudes a relaxed, truthful essence…” — Whitney Lewis, WomensRadio.com
