Under the Same Stars (ft. Reliable Child)

PRAISE "City life and country life each have their positives and negatives, but singer-songwriter Lounna would prefer to focus on what brings us together rather than what divides us apart. ...touching track features each artist trading and sharing vocals, perfectly complementing each other." - V13 Media

"... captures [a] specific sense of awe – usually elicited by the natural world – that hits when you least expect it. Backed by swaying acoustic guitar and gentle banjo, Lounna and Reliable Child – the former’s voice airy, the latter’s earthy – trade lines from the perspective of lovers separated by distance. ...it highlights a simple but profound fact: that while their characters may be in two places, they’re looking up at one sky, and can find not just comfort in the fact, but transcendence." - Bored In Pittsburgh

Alpenglow

PRAISE "...delves into the complexities of love and loss... The contrast between the song’s bright title and its somber theme mirrors the emotional duality—finding beauty in the past while facing the uncertainty of the present." - Music and Entertainers

"...equal amounts of shoegaze-haze and indie-folk... a beautiful contradiction, a song that embraces big guitars and driving drums but also ambiance and understatement... that feels too good for the mainstream ... too delicate but which, given the right prevailing sonic winds, deserves to blow through it anyway." - The Big Takeover

"...a sonic journey that’s both folky warmth and indie rock grit... It’s a reminder that sometimes heartbreak, like the alpenglow, can paint our past in a beautiful, albeit temporary, light." - Buzzy Band

"...a sound infused with the ruggedness of Big Thief and the euphonic beauty akin to the works of Gregory Alan Isakov and boygenius... Slate’s voice has matured into a poignant echo of indie folk innovation..." - A&R Factory

"...is a sunset over a hazy horizon – elusive, beautiful, but with a tinge of sadness that you can’t quite shake... The song itself isn’t trying to fix you, or offer up some kind of moral lesson. It’s more like a shoulder to lean on." - Indie Boulevard

Peak Season

PRAISE ..."carries melancholy, yet it is also filled with incredible energy, like a beam of light in a dark room. ... an anthem of the impending spring and victory over melancholy and slumber.” - Indie Boulevard

"... a harmonious amalgamation of lyrical depth and orchestral richness ... allows you to stand at the shores of your own introspection while washing over you as a cathartic release." - A&R Factory

"For Lounna, this may have been cathartic but for the listener, it's understandable and relatable ... we may not be alone in whatever struggle we're going through." - RAGMAG

"Lounna’s banjo- and violin-assisted 'Peak Season,' inspired by experiences with seasonal affective disorder, contains both the melancholy that characterizes the drag of winter and the hope that comes with the thought of spring. ... a quiet, steady augur of brighter days ahead." - Bored In Pittsburgh

"...encourages sowing hope even in difficult times ... It celebrates continuous growth, symbolized by nature, and reminds us that better days will eventually return." - Radio Castor
