Haint Blue
“Haint Blue’s new self-titled EP delivers some of the best Americana-tinted pop you’ve heard this year—further driving home the notion that depth of feeling needn’t be sacrificed in order to create accessible string-based music.” -The Public
“The chronicling of the lyricist’s loss of faith is a remarkable work of poetry — unvarnished in its apostasy, yet with a sensitivity and a beautiful melancholy over the intra-familial costs that makes it plain this is no mere adolescent revolt…The simple sound of the lyrics belies their force…” -G. I. Blanchard, Mudblood Catholic
“The seven-strong group artfully amalgamates poppy beats with Americana roots and instruments, producing a sound akin to Shovels & Rope or Avett Brothers, but still apart in its context and tonal shifts. Haint Blue has layers of pain and living in its lyrics, wrapped carefully in cheery beats and twangy harmonics. -Jonathan Goodwin, Deli Magazine
