OTHER PETER AND THE WOLF CDS:
"Thanks in large part to the sly, mysterious troubadour at its core, Lightness cements Hunter's reputation as a creative dreamer and master storyteller."
- NPR
"Hunter uses few instruments, though always in gorgeous combinations. The result is a great winter album..."
- PITCHFORK
"Absolutely mesmerising, seducing listeners with dreams of freedom, adventure, collapse, and rebirth."
- SEATTLE STRANGER
"[Hunter] silenced a typically chatty Silverlake Lounge crowd this Wednesday weilding only a duct-taped guitar."
- L.A. WEEKLY
"...there’s gorgeous evidence of the things he’s deciphered about the world in all of his imaginative and exasperatingly effortless breezes of songs."
- DAYTROTTER
"Hunter’s songs reveal subtlety and craft rarely found these days as well as honesty and emotional depth that can’t help but draw the attention of anyone in earshot."
- ASTHMATIC KITTY
"Returning for an encore... the crowd demanded the confectionary one-minute folk centerpiece, “Bonsai Tree," a nostalgic ode to things better left unsaid..."
- SPIN
"Amazingly haunting and touching songs. "
- PAPER
"Rickety, intense, gothic folk backed by an orchestra of kids on scrap-metal percussion... heavy on adventure, light on the constraining rules that would cramp its spirit. "
- PORTLAND MERCURY
"Hunter and his chorus of note-perfect backing vocalists did a damn fine job of establishing a mood... quite a few Peter and the Wolf songs have themes of movement and/or city-dwelling, so as Hunter sang about the fast pace and isolation of modern life, the delicateness of the performance provided a lovely counterpoint. "
