“Musically, the duo create a sound that feels both of its time and yet also timeless, being the latest link in a chain that travels back to some of those great male/female duos of yesteryear, such as Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Mary McCaslin and Jim Ringer. The arrangement here makes full use of the couple’s excellent harmonies, while the subtle application of pedal steel and fiddle helps add a seasoned flavour to the modern production. Lyrically, the EP also draws from past decades, exploring the beauty of nature and how it shapes and reflects the human experience, yet all done from a very 21st-century perspective.” — Americana UK (UK)

“Kyra and Tully and the embracing whimsy and tenderness of “Deer In The Headlights” wraps around your cold shoulders like a blanket just taken out of the dryer.” — American Pancake (USA)
“For those calm moments, “Deer In The Headlights” from “Kyra and Tully” accompanies and envelops you in warm and gentle atmospheres that portray the sublime emotions of the protagonist, who is lulled by organic and acoustic sounds, allowing us to feel our souls. Its honest lyrics speak to that feeling of uncertainty, thus encapsulating doubt, fear, and indecision in a poetic way that all listeners can identify with as they find the will to break free from those chains and find their inner strength.” — End Sessions (Mexico)
“Everyone should get to hear this sweet and truthful music.“ — Bruce Cockburn
“There’s something distinctly Ontarian about Kyra and Tully’s fourth release, Journey Home between Kyra’s stunning, Sarah Harmer- esque vocals, the winter weather -inspired lyrics and the laid back banjo arrangements (and perhaps their history of being featured on CTV’s Degrassi Junior High, this Kingston -based husband -wife duo is central Canadiana to the core…” — Sarah Towie/ Exclaim. ca
“The Ep’s title track “Journey Home” is a proper Canadian folk tune, using Lake Ontario as the setting for a melancholic song about love, it’s reminiscent of Joni Mitchell’s music-down tempo and melodic, glazed with a tint of sorrow and a feeling of loss. On “Journey Home” Kyra’s vocal performance is largely featured, along with string accompaniment. Her careful and flawless transition between chest and head voice and gentle pronunciation of each word make the songs nature inspired lyrics all the more poetic..” — Elysse Cloma / Grey Owl Point
