The arrangement here makes full use of the couple\u2019s 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.” \u2014 Americana UK (UK)<\/b><\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

“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.” \u2014 American Pancake (USA)<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

“For those calm moments,\u00a0 “Deer In The Headlights”<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0“Kyra and Tully”<\/strong> 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.” \u2014<\/i> End Sessions (Mexico)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something distinctly Ontarian about Kyra and Tully\u2019s fourth release, Journey Home between Kyra\u2019s 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\u2019s Degrassi Junior High, this Kingston -based husband -wife duo is central Canadiana to the core\u2026<\/em>\u201d \u2014 Sarah Towie\/ Exclaim. ca<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ep\u2019s title track \u201cJourney Home\u201d is a proper Canadian folk tune, using Lake Ontario as the setting for a melancholic song about love, it\u2019s reminiscent of Joni Mitchell\u2019s music-down tempo and melodic, glazed with a tint of sorrow and a feeling of loss. On \u201cJourney Home\u201d Kyra\u2019s 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..\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Elysse Cloma \/ Grey Owl Point<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Journey Home weaves gentle melancholy with a bright, happy pop sound. From the alt-country title track to a reworked version of Love in All These Things, Journey Home has a finessed and polished sound.\u2019 \u2014\u00a0Kingston Life Magazine<\/strong><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” divider_opacity=”85″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
