Aug 31, 2015The result is a record that feels as weighty as a work of literature, but also as enveloping and beautiful as the best albums that the folk music genre has ever produced.

Aug 31, 2015Old fans of Gundersen’s EPs and Ledges might want something that seems less polished, as well as songs that dive even deeper into religious matters--this is not a somewhat inaccessible indie album. It is, however, melancholy beautiful pop that explores some of living’s hard questions.

Aug 31, 2015These songs benefit from Gundersen’s past, yet leave hope (some of it, at least) and genteelness behind in a cloud of ambient smoke. Good. [No. 123, p.59]

Aug 31, 2015While Carry the Ghost is a sullen work, with lyrics that deal head-on with reality, and processing rather than wallowing, Gundersen hits a beautifully wistful sweet spot in tone both lyrically and musically.
