i can feel everything, from the album art to the vocal harmonics and lyrics, serve to evoke the power of the land and the peoples of the british isles

Whenever I need some cheering up I turn to this little gem by two wonderful young musicians. Heartwarmingly beautiful and brilliantly sung and played. Love you, guys, and hope to hear a lot more from you.

Just bought tix to see these guys in Nashville. Blown away by the talent and the strong songwriting, the vibe and the production, but most of all the VOICE. Great album and I can’t wait to pick up the new one on vinyl when I catch them this April. Super chill vibes with this one. I love it.
Favorite track: Now I'm Gone.

perfect, top to bottom, and if the drums on 'groovy babe' don't hit you then something's wrong.
Favorite track: Make a Change.

Country, western, psych -- Kassi has a beautiful voice and lyrics that really get my attention. So glad that the Western AF video of Johnny Dear showed up on my YouTube feed and turned me on to Kassi. Also delighted that I was able to score a copy of the 4th pressing of this LP.
Favorite track: Chino.

Truly a talent that sticks out. Every song is beautifully written with a voice telling a beautiful story. the vintage sound but at the same time experimenting with a psychedelic feel at moments. Great record
Favorite track: Johnny Dear.

Such a great album. One of my favorites of the last 10 years for sure. Another pressing of vinyl needs to happen.
Favorite track: Chino.

Been waiting for this album for some time now. Like a sweeping tide this record pushes all pretenders aside. Gospel music is decidedly Soul music. Each track is a sudden eruption of something beautiful, pure and glorious with various members taking turns at lead vocals. Intensely positive musical experience.

I just had the pleasure of seeing Joan and her band perform many of these songs at The Colony in Woodstock, a lovely room whose owners bravely claim will hold 200 people. If she should pass your way sometime soon, don't miss the chance to hear one of the truly great singer-songwriters of our generation in person.
Favorite track: High On The Mountain.

Joan Shelley inspires me to be a better songwriter; simply brilliant.
Favorite track: Teal.
Pete Brown
We live in absurd times, but at least we have Joan Shelley's exquisite music. It always helps. Her voice is a warm hug to the soul. Joan Shelley and Nathan Salsburg are minor deities, etc.
Favorite track: all of 'em

"The following songs are even less shoegaze and more acoustic. And, oh boy, if everything they play sounded so fantastic and tear-jerking as "Distance Between" they could replace Tori Amos in the acoustic music throne" ENGLISH: bit.ly/2E96q8MFavorite track: Distance Between.
