Laura Minor, who xlr8r compared to Lucinda Williams, appears on guest vocals on the EP’s wistful closing waltz.
Boston Phoenix said, “Leland Sundries singer/picker Nick Loss-Eaton’s the-Band-meets-Lou-Reed approach mates gnawing electric guitar and old-time acoustic six-string, banjo, and harmonica melodies with dry-witted, drawling, modern-day ennui.”
Time Out New York called the music “oddball storytelling with a lo-fi country sensibility.”
Albany Times-Union praised Leland Sundries’ songs as “dark and mysterious.”
