Mountains
&
Valleys
""Three Drinks” will certainly pique the interest of listeners with a soft spot for achey, melancholic tunes. Introduced as gentle and muted, “Three Drinks” is pleasantly surprising. The track creeps into a sentimental cry only to be topped with an emotionally contradicting chorus that echoes, “My silence is torture and bliss.” The seductive and sultry voice of Merritt Harris adds an additional layer of soul, making “Three Drinks” all the more pained and heartfelt. Without a doubt, Harris will leave listeners ruminating on his lyrical pangs of grief."
-The Wild Honey Pie Kate Monick
Mountains and Valleys, as a whole, is undoubtedly an impressive effort. None of the album’s twelve tracks come off as filler, each track fitting nicely in the record’s dynamic range. The instrumentation is diverse and well-arranged, making the self-titled collection of indie-folk songs a thoroughly enjoyable listen."

"Lots of smart and tasteful textures, lyrics, and instrumentation."
-Jocko at MoreSound Studio
"[The melancholy vibe] is part of the reason why I love this album as much as I do! It expresses a truism about the human soul . . . There is a prevalent sense of hopefulness in your lyrics though- and that is what keeps it so creative."
-Alanna Marie Boudreau
