"Food Coloring, Saint Bell‘s debut EP, provides a good introduction to the band’s style. The five song project has a raw, real sound that blends live instruments with electronic sounds and warm vocals. The band’s creator, 20 year old Jeremy Phipps, had a huge role in the production of the EP: he wrote all the songs, plays all the instruments and sings the lead vocals. Background vocals and the production were provided by Nasimiyu." - InvadeNola
"With an extensive sonic palette at his disposal, Phipps crafted a gorgeous record that recalls the lush orchestrations of Sufjan Stevens, while retaining the playful nature of electro-pop." - NolaVie
"It would be a few days before I actually got to hear his debut album Cold Cold Wind, but since my initial listening I've been unable to put it out of my mind. Phipps is astoundingly progressive in his implementation and mixing of sounds, moving seamlessly between jazz, hip-hop, funk, EDM and brass music he manages an amazing blend that is mature in complexity, yet young in it's ambitions. Arguably, but hopefully not ahead of his time, Phipps's original motif straddles familiarity and simultaneously plunders the abstract side of human consciousness. Cold Cold Wind is hands down one of the most interesting, innovative and creative albums I've heard in a while." - Radio Mailwaukee
