This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageA stunningly beautiful thing. Lindeman’s voice has acquired a new depth, a smoky, distant, intriguing quality, while both musically and lyrically this is an intricately constructed piece, exacted with a cool gaze and sensuality reminiscent of Joni Mitchell or Leonard Cohen. – The Guardian
Timeless. Recalls the vignettes of another Canadian folk divinity [Joni Mitchell.] But the measured, perceptive storytelling at hand is purely Lindeman’s, singular in both its quiet clarity and compelling relatability. – Pitchfork
Loyalty is imbued with the crisp intimacy of the coldest season. Lindeman’s voice floats by in the higher registers of head voice, never breathy but, instead, misty and amorphous. Lindeman’s songwriting catches your attention and holds it. She’s clever without any smugness, rendering every day events into existential pictures of uncertainty, poking and prodding at subconscious desires without ever fully exposing them. – Stereogum
Pre-Order Kenny Knight on LP ($18), CD ($13), LP+CD ($25), or digitally
$9.00 – $30.00
This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageAn understated Colorado country rock gem. Blending the dusty acoustic rambles of the Dead circa 1970, the world weary ache of White Light-era Gene Clark and Knight’s own brand of faded Americana, the ten tracks here offer up a shot of pure, private press pleasure. While the pedal steel and warm backing vocals are as lovely as a Rocky Mountain sunrise, there’s an intensity and melancholy seared into every moment here. – Aquarium Drunkard
An album full of songs evocative of all things wonderful about the cross-pollinating music of the 70’s. Great songwriting abounds on this LP. Crossroads is not only a welcomed addition to the collection of anyone who digs on 70’s singer songwriter fare but also for those looking to dip their toes into the more curious world of private press and loner folk musics. – The Big Takeover
