Recent Press:
"(Spirits of the Red City) plays with the airy intimacy and elegance of a minimalist duo, with wistful themes and relatively spare orchestrations: a simple cello line, a gently strummed guitar or a lonely fiddle. Spirits of the Red City singer Will Garrison has a whiskey-soaked voice that's a little weary but full of honesty and passion."
- National Public Radio
"(The) cello/viola/guitar-laden wall of sound is experimental enough to elicit the anticipation and uncertainty of dream, but familiar enough to be the calming reassurance needed upon waking, all beneath the confident strain of Garrison's voice and quiet triumph of his lyricism."
- Leo Weekly (Louisville, KY)
"Surprisingly spare for such a large group, Spirits create a loose-knit, cello-drenched concoction of mournful folk-Americana. It's sad and thoughtful, and drifts along beautifully like the hazy dreams of a bone-tired man who's finally found a moment of rest."
- The Onion
"It's the sort of heartbreak you don't want to let go of, the joy you can't fully embrace. Taken together, though, all these emotional ambiguities and musical disharmonies somehow add up to something that, in the end, is incredibly pretty."
- Max Ross, City Pages
"(They) deliver a distinctive sound somewhere in the crevices between wistful, haunting, arty and folk ... But most of the time it sounds like a chamber group scoring a kitschy thriller, with Neil Young's lower-voiced older brother singing the dialogue. And cinching it into an oddly compelling, unified bundle."
- MinnPost
"There is a sincerity in the way they approach their songs that breathes new life into the most old-fashioned sounds ... an honest and heartfelt approach to the form that sets Spirits apart from all of the other players in their field."
- Andrea Myers, City Pages
