"...Powered by wonderful songwriting and a voice that’s easy to fall in love with, Laurin Hunter’s EP teaser, The Ontario Sessions, is something special."

- Patrick Hickey Jr.

"...(Neil Young's) "Don’t Let It Bring You Down" is one of the songs making up the EP teaser, with Hunter’s acoustic guitar prowess and soulful vocals as well as pop sensibilities giving the song a fresh infectious energy. As both songs within the teaser, it’s a live take with guitar and voice casting a radiant proposal that easily held attention and sparked intrigue for that upcoming full EP.

The lead track on the teaser is "Seasons of Silence", an emotionally intimate and melodically soulful song with those hues echoed in Hunter’s falsetto layered voice and lyrical breath. Like a knowing caress, the song wraps around ears sharing its personal angst and strength in a moment of shadowed radiance but with a beauty that makes the boldest light.

Both acoustic tracks provide a rich and potent invitation to The Ontario Sessions EP and right now a captivating excuse for newcomers to discover LAURIN HUNTER before then.
