NEW PRESS:

"Music, from the likes of the Brian Jonestown Massacre on the soundtrack and local troubadour Lorraine Leckie in the film itself, is well curated."
- VARIETY Magazine

"[Lorraine Leckie] steals the show... [she] sings the folksy songs that tell the tale[s of the Lower East Side]."
- Steve Lewis
Black Book Magazine

"[She is] an Ontario folkie gal... naively likeable"
- Village Voice



LORRAINE LECKIE: MARTINI EYES
"Martini Eyes is a spooky, seductive and a mesmerizing multifarious trip to the dark side... Lorriane waxes wicked in such cuts as "Don't Giggle at the Corpse" and "I Met A Man" - a torrid tale of a successful drug runner who put "T in her chee chee…"
- Tom Semioli, Amplifier Magazine

"LORRAINE LECKIE HAUNTS BANJO JIM'S"..
Lorraine Leckie’s songs have a stylish menace... a throwback to a more dangerous era in New York both musically and otherwise.
- Lucid Culture

"Lorraine Leckie and her Demons have attitude enough for a maximum-security prison."
- Relix Magazine

POIGNANT AND WORTH MANY LISTENS
"Lorraine Leckie is dark and broody. Quirky, yet simple. The production throughout the album is beautifully stark, with arrangements consisting mostly of acoustic guitar and vocals. The piano-based "I Met a Man" has the feel of early Regina Specktor, while "Listen to the Girl" is full of Emily Jane White style melancholy. It is rare to find an artist who can stand up so well without musical adornments or lavish processing. Lorraine Leckie's Martini Eyes is short, poignant, and worth many listens."
- Jen Levins, Origivation Magazine

"...This album is pure poetry"
- Indie Music Stop

"Such quietness is revolutionary..."
- The Indypendent

DIRTY OLD TOWN from Blowback Productions on Vimeo.

"In more ways than one, Dirty Old Town reverberates the loss of many bohemian institutions Downtown and an on going change in the culture of New York City and Billy's Antiques and Props on Houston st is the magic set with all the downtown Manhattan landscapes."
- Stefania Pia
Italian Vogue

"Leckie takes on a folksy Dust Bowl groove that would frighten Edgar Allen Poe or perhaps Nick Cave... Still, she is ever more captivating—tangling the listener in all of her fables with an uncompromising allure that is consistent throughout."
- Socially Superlative

BEYOND RACE MAGAZINE
Rating: 8.0
'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...'
-James DeVino

“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")

"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

"Lorraine and the gang whip up a whopper of tracks that sparks the imagination."
- John Berkowitz @ TheCelebrityCafe.com

“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."
