Press quotes for Jon Lindsay:

“One of the most exciting artists we’ve seen come out of the burgeoning southeastern lo-fi revival scene.” – Paste Magazine

“Lindsay treads somewhere between the Beatles’ sweeter pop side, the dramatic cabaret of Rufus Wainwright, and the full-band folk-rock of Ben Kweller, while dropping winking pop culture references.” – Charlotte Observer

“Topanga Canyon summer pop re-imagined by The Shins…”- Shuffle Magazine

“Wainwright-style (don’t really matter which one) balladry shot through with a really dry sense of humor and an admirable flair for the dramatic.” – Timothy C. Davis

“Coming off like a synthed-out version of the DBs, this is weird, wonderful stuff. A keep! And a treasure.” – Ken Stringfellow (REM, The Posies, Big Star, Minus 5, The Disciplines)

“Jon Lindsay’s angelic voice and catchy melodies cover a dark pop sensibility; his tunes work their way in to your brain like hookworms and are just as painful to get out.” – Django Haskins (The Old Ceremony, International Orange)

“Each listen to Escape From Plaza-Midwood yields more in return.  And you can quote me on that.” – Caitlin Cary (Whiskeytown, Small Ponds)
