    Loyalty is an exceptionally affecting masterpiece, at once timeless and very much of its time, highly personal in its specificity and universal in its emotional accessibility and resonance.

    Loyalty is undeniably a folk album, underpinned by Lindeman's finger-picked guitar, spacious piano and banjo, her husky, timeless voice having taken on a new maturity, every word now clearly articulated.

    Loyalty can slip into the background if you let it, receding into prettiness until you miss the uncompromising intelligence and honesty. Yet that in itself is a triumph, as the former child star steps back and steps back until all you can hear are the songs.

    Loyalty retains the humble immediacy of its predecessors. [Jul 2015, p.90]

    The detail-oriented approach that delighted on the Weather Station’s early records reappears on Loyalty.

    The atmosphere is very light and airy, in sound if not in subject, which means it requires a few listens to dial in on the lyrics and find the extra levels of depth that are certainly available.

    Loyalty is where the wind blows as it is convenient or a benefit to me. Manipulation is easier with false affection and false loyalty
