  1. Ledges is the kind of record that sounds great from the very first listen, but over time, as Gundersen’s words begin to cut deeper and take root, it transcends the mere prettiness that is so often the bread and butter of singer/songwriter records.

    The solid, memorable songs are at the sweet end of the bittersweet spectrum. [Mar 2014, p.91]

    Ledges may be a quiet album but it resonates with strong emotions in its own low-key way.

    Ledges may not match the intensity of his stage performances, but the album does portray Gundersen as an exacting songwriter who never lets self-reckoning curdle into self-regard and as an imaginative producer with a careful hand.

    It’s a record with much broader appeal than its genre tags, and Gundersen comes across as an old veteran throughout.

    The songs sound sad but each carries hope somehow, although a little jump and joy here and there might have given this set a little more spark. Life is lived in the sunshine, too.
