"Grace Slick.. Crazy Horse" - Amplifier Magazine
"[Her voice] cuts thru the night like a purple razor blade. [She is] the real thing." - Rebecca Moore
"[She is] an Ontario folkie gal... naively likeable" - Village Voice
"This woman is a poet... a page out of the book of Lou Reed or Edgar Allen Poe." - Underground Beat Online
“Good ol' no-nonsense folk rocker from this singer songwriter out of Ontario. Pretentiously claiming Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and Verlaine as interests, Leckie howls fragmented poetry... Start with "Ontario" and "You're So Cool."” - Michael @ WLUR 91.5 FM

Album Review: ‘Four Cold Angels’ by Lorraine Leckie & Her Demons
"The music is deeply rooted in folk rock, with the grungy, scratchy sounding guitar, heavy hitting drums, and rocking riffs that feel as if they were pulled straight out of the 70’s. And Lorraine’s voice is interesting to say the least."

'On her third full length, Leckie proves she is ready to take her unique brand of folk rock with a dark side beyond the clubs of downtown Manhattan. While part of Leckie's charm stems from her rough-around-the-edges image, 'Getaway Car,' the album's beautiful piano-driven opener, allows her vocals to shine with heartfelt emotion as her ability to create a vivid picture is on par with any Broadway show soundtrack. Leckie's tongue-in-cheek, lyrical honesty is comparable in sentiment to Kimya Dawson, yet she exudes a poetic style all her own. The album picks up about half way though with 'You're So Cool,' chock full of grrrl rock energy, followed by 'Drivin'' which best showcases Leckie's storytelling juxtaposed against Hugh Pool's guitar interplay, culminating with a breathtaking chorus. With a little help from Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman, Anton Newcombe, Four Cold Angels appropriately closes with a rendition of the Pogue's 'Dirty Old Town.'

“With an invigorating vocal style crossing Grace Slick with the aforementioned Smith... Leckie is a trip on the Lower East Side and in the Brooklyn clubs” - David N. Pyles @ AcousticMusic.com
“Getaway Car” [is] one of my favorites...
“Four Cold Angels,” shows off Leckie’s Neil Young influence on a country-tinged song...
The mid-tempo songs... bring[s] to mind Holly Golightly as much as anything. The music sounds almost folkish, or country, but there’s more to it than simply strumming an acoustic guitar and crying in your beer. Listen close to the words...” - Aikin @ Licorice-Pizza.blogspot.com
"a New York make-over of Neil Young's style" - Beyond Race Magazine
"The real deal." - Music Dish
"She's great..." - Anton Newcombe / The Brian Jonestown Massacre
"[She rocks] with a Patti Smith-esque swagger" - David Terra
"Like sitting on grassy fields with Harold and Maude trippin' on some serious shrooms... dark and deep lyrics... like taking a trip down memory lane... there's hope for somehtin' in this world of ours." - CD Baby ("Conscience")

Green eyes brown eyes grey eyes Blue eyes look into mine, Waiting and watching and waiting, And juggling with words in rhyme, Searching choosing dissecting, Line after line after line, To impress to undress to imagine, Giving all soul and mind, Brown eyes grey eyes blue eyes, Green eyes look into mine, You who are a lady fair, Free in thought and almost there Almost real and almost laughing, A shooting star that fell on me, A flake, a wisp of another destiny, Blue eyes brown eyes green eyes, Blue eyes look into mine, I stagger to my feet and walk away
I was listening to your song 'Ontario' and it struck me....you are the secret love-child of Neil Young and Grace Slick!!! Be at Banjo Jim's Saturday or else the world gets to know your secret!
