------------------------------------------------------
"Somewhere squarely between Wilco and the Flaming Lips (though these two bands could use a little of what Ill Lit is selling), Ill Lit delivers a deceptively upbeat message of heartbreak and loss of hope, complete with broken electronics and layers and layers of sweet harmonies" - Indieworkshop.com
------------------------------------------------------
"Where the realms of lush, sonic abundance meld with eroded, acoustic, weathered rawness...any way you look at it, this is an album worth making a fuss about" - CDBaby.com
------------------------------------------------------
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT ILL LIT IN THE PAST...
------------------------------------------------------
"ill lit gives us songs that are elegies of American lostness, road music for a new breed of pioneers. Any person who is no longer young, and not yet old: rootless human beings of scattered family, no land, and only a home away from no-home. Who are nonetheless burdened with lustful urges to build something, somewhere; to say something, to someone: to call out of the ruins of all this glorious fucked-up American freedom we own." - Sound Collector
------------------------------------------------------
"Cosmic in Gram Parsons' sense of the word, and with an understated Lou Reed-like intensity, ill lit's music moves the mind and mesmerizes the heart." - Franz Wright
------------------------------------------------------
"a pop-perfect bit of alt-country, beset by a frail, ethereal synth whisper, like a ghost shooting through the farm, blowing up stalks of hay before finally crashing face-first into a wall" - Pitchfork Media
------------------------------------------------------
"a perfect meeting of the old and the new" - CMJ -------------------------------------------------------

Daniel, Your voice, your music, gives me a raison d'etre. Keep at it. I am very critical of sound! Yours keeps my heart beating and reminds me why I am alive. I am a visual artiste and enjoy talent where it exists.

Saw a plaque in an old woman's kitchen a couple days ago.. thought about your great music..

I'm not a slow cook,
I'm a half fast cook.
