Linaire / Linaire - Independent (2020)
“…a blend of art and pop that can be quietly effective, and sometimes unsettling.”
“…sonically exploring beauty and discomfort, many of the songs are wrapped in an illuminated darkness — melancholic but glittery.”
--Exclaim!
“Devastatingly beautiful, a transcendent experience.”
“This LP starts out intriguing and then slowly impresses with the strength of its assemblage. A highly accomplished debut.”
Sky Stacked Full / Anna Atkinson with David Occhipinti
"…an engrossing listening experience, darkly beautiful and fascinating. It plunges us into the clear water that has no end. In this age of permanent distraction, the very fact that it can pin me in place long enough to feel so deeply is, in itself, the most impressive thing of all.”
--Rawckus Magazine (2016)
“When We Were Young’s exquisitely crafted, sparse arrangement – grounded in a minimal viola line – and simple, beautiful way with words make a breathtaking whole.”
--Skin Back Alley (2016)
“…the least earthbound artist we’ve heard in ages: fanciful lyrics, soaring vocals, and the only rhythm section within earshot is your own heartbeat.”
--Toronto Star (2011)
