Quotes From Reviews

ALBUM REVIEW: CONOR AND THE WILD HUNT, YOU’RE NOT ALONE  

“...full of emotion and positive messaging that strikes a poignant chord in these trying times…  Funny enough the album’s sound immediately took me back to my indie/emo days… Their folk/Americana is driven by a vivid emotion not often heard accompanying the traditional acoustic instruments… perfect for a quiet morning or a twilight drive…”

-Elise Olmstead (Music Journalist at The Jamwich)

 

Conor & The Wild Hunt "You're Not Alone"

          "…Conor & The Wild Hunt combines different styles tastefully and with the passion always present. Folk in their nature, the songs take you into many territories: the epic, the feel-good, the uplifting, the sensitive, and the intimate… The band’s sound still keeps the essence of folk but now with added elements of modern epic pop, kind of King of Leon, Snow Patrol, and some hints of Cold Play..."

-Guillermo Guareschi (Music Journalist at Music Album Reviews)

 

Rock Me Mama (and Papa) Like a Wagon Wheel

          “...the Maryland native turns his wild adventures into musical myths... The group combines gleaming vocals, percolating instrumentals and radiating grooves that work well in [Conor] Brendan’s favorite theatrical theaters…”

-Geoff Gehman (Former arts writer for The Morning Call in Allentown)

 

OTHER QUOTES

Jeremy Asay (Ezra Bell)

          "Conor and the Wild Hunt have beautifully arranged songs with a big sound (a great feat for a trio). Their songs ebb and flow; ebbing from emotional tranquility and flowing into anthemic sing-a-longs."

 

Drew McManus (Satsang)

          "Like if Postal Service had a baby with The Head and the Heart, and somehow one of them had slept with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, but Stills was a female and liked modern pop music, and Bruce Hornsby helped them arrange shit." 

                 

Ken Roseman (Music Journalist at "Sing Out!")

          "...Energetic folk-ish pop-rock with strong main melodies and catchy choruses. Great lead and harmony vocals; passionate lyrics about personal and societal matters. I guarantee we will be hearing more from this crew." 

 

Elizabeth Anne (Music Listener)

          "... Your music and connections sunk deep into my bones, a healing ensemble that in the past 6 months has been by my side through high tide and low tide. Resonating & opening up different perceptions frequently. I am writing to say thank you all. Thank you for being the approachable, humble, kind hearted people you are..."
