PRESS QUOTES AND PHOTOS
“Bonar’s thoughtful lyricism pervades [GOLDER], counterbalancing intimate poetry with hints of folksy storytelling…the songstress has amassed an aural catalog bountiful beyond her years.”
-MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
“Louder and more pop-oriented than previous efforts, Golder is Bonar’s most consumer-friendly—and strongest—album to date. This is the most comfortable she’s sounded on record. The same ingredients that propel a Feist or Neko Case into the national consciousness are alive in Bonar: tactful songwriting, pop sensibilities, charisma, and arrangements that fit.”
-A.V. CLUB TWIN CITIES
“Big Star, her marvelous 2008 record … [is] often credited with dragging her from the role of talented Midwest gem to that of nationally respected artist.”
-PORTLAND MERCURY
“Haley Bonar rediscovers the pure emotion of unadorned singer-songwriter folk.”
-TIME OUT NEW YORK
“She possesses a voice that’s ideal for conveying mixed emotions about romance, fame, life.”
–PITCHFORK
“Minneapolis-based Haley Bonar’s ‘Big Star’, seems to lament the desire to reach for fame.”
–NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
“To watch Bonar perform is haunting and humbling; rarely is it so keenly obvious that an artist is doing precisely what they were born to do.”
