K. VAN PETTEN IN THE NEWS
“The music—gentle and light as air, a tapestry of earthy piano and gorgeous field recordings. The words are illuminating like sunshine after a long night. There is a benevolence to these 11 pieces of writing that will stick with you long after listening. For Someone is in fact for someone—for you, for me, for anyone who needs it, and I feel certain a very large number of people need this encouraging, sweet, magical creature of a debut album.”
