3/4/22

“It's beautifully dark and brooding goth-infused post-rock that at times calls to mind Earth at its most expansive, and Chelsea Wolfe at its most fragile…that includes the fantastic vocals of Bridget Bellavia from blktxxth across three of the albums six tracks.”

“Bridget Bellavia's captivating softness of singing adds a lot to the bewitching charm of the calm atmosphere that fills every corner and nuance of this song prevails... Plain and simple, it is enough for her to expose her crystalline and dramatic lyricism to take over the entire space that surrounds the empathic listener.”

“…foregrounds vocals here more than he ever has before, both his own and those of Bridget Bellavia from Piggy Black Cross (who also works with Driver and Chase in synth-rock band Paranoid Fiction)—she delivers a stunning guest turn on ‘Scaffolds of Digital Snow.’”

Album Review: An Evening Redness

11/12/22

"The floating Mesa Skyline, partly due to singer Bridget Bellavia, is reminiscent of a slow drone version by Anna von Hauswolff."

"When vocals are used they are luscious and rich. The singer has an impressive voice, and her performance is faultless."

“Mesa Skyline, the second track, takes things even further with 70’s tinged sci-fi synthesizers added to the mix, as well as the excellent, evocative vocals from Bridget Bellavia (BLKTXXTH, Piggy Black Cross).”

“‘Mesa Skyline’ has keys swarming as Bellavia’s voice enters the fray, feeling both sultry, soulful, and calming.”
“…as Bellavia returns and calls into the night, balmy temperatures working their way in and making flesh crawl. The vocals stretch as the keys glisten, the singing lures souls from other dimensions, and the playing ends at the heart of a fever dream… “No salvation!” Bellavia wails, the sounds combust, and everything collapses into an angelic wonder.”

PIGGY BLACK CROSS: Always Just Out of R.E.A.C.H.

4/11/20

“It becomes more and more noticeable that the singer, who also sings in another band called Paranoid Fiction in the vein of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, has an effortless ability to vary the use of her voice…erratic beats or plastic hand drum imitations, she chases her message through the distortion with aggressive force, but after a few short, exhausted sighs, she lets an almost ethereal soprano glide over metal-heavy blast beats. The soft soaring vocals, which sometimes make you think of a more folky version of FKA Twigs, let you hear the disguised pop songs”

“A slow lead-in features Bridget Bellavia’s haunting voice that rivals Craig's earlier display…It’s almost a shame this song doesn’t feature more vocals, but it still works well on its own.”

“Scaffold of Digital Snow possesses a kind of mystique as it begins with solo violin and guitar chords, then transitions to a soaring middle section of stunning string arrangements with singing by Bridget Bellavia, the multi-talented collaborator with Driver on their dark electronic music project Piggy Black Cross.”

“…a very sweet guest vocal performance by Bridget Bellavia. She has made other collaborations with Driver in the form of a ‘dark EDM’ project called Piggy Black Cross and in a solo project called Paranoid Fiction. If her performance on “Scaffold of Digital Snow” can be taken on its own, then we can expect many great and interesting things from her in the years to come.”
