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.”
