Apr 27, 2020Efficient production and robust songwriting combines with constant bursts of delicate beauty, creating an introspective and deeply moving experience. Clocking in at a brisk half hour there is no fat, only quality song after quality song.

Apr 14, 2020As Benton shifts his focus from big rock choruses to a grounding, direct connectivity, Lost in the Country cements Trace Mountains' evolution into a type of modern Americana.
-
Apr 14, 2020Musically and emotionally, Lost in the Country is a decisive step forward.
-
Apr 14, 2020Deeply introspective and pleasantly mellow, Lost in the Country is a mature step forward for Benton as a writer, and more firmly establishes Trace Mountains' vision.
-
Apr 14, 2020Benton’s follow-up, Lost in the Country, is another pleasantly tuneful listen, but it doesn’t quite deliver on that promise. Its 10 songs sit and simmer in Trace Mountains’ sonic comfort zone, while most of the surprises seem to have been left behind. The result is an album that’s perfectly likable, but not much more.
