Light Time by Lewis & Clarke

"Lewis & Clarke blew up their pastoral folk sound into long, torn-open and moody soundscapes on 2007's Blasts of Holy Birth, and they have taken that brooding tangled beauty down even darker roads....Light Time shows once again that Lewis & Clarke's quiet sound is an affecting one."
-PREFIX

"Lewis & Clarke doesn’t play songs as much as unfurl them, slowly letting ribbons of sound billow and cascade. The power, though, is palpable, made even stronger through delicateness, a paradox that is at play not only in the music on Light Time but also in its metaphors for life, loss and renewal.
-POP MATTERS

"These songs do more than tell stories: they create moods and inspire thought...what sets Lewis & Clarke apart is their ability to flawlessly execute changes in dynamics, adding a new dimension to the narratives of their songs."
-EMMIE

Hypnotic mountain folk... spare and elegant... full of strings and woodsy imagery...songs for getting lost into"
-STEREOGUM

"A reminder that the heart, above all else, is a muscle."
-DONNYBROOK

"Solemnly subtle, there's a sense of heaviness that seems to be barely escaping itself...songs that embrace their own hopeful anguish, and satisfy our need to feel."
-FREE WILLIAMSBURG

"(Light Time) doesn’t just have three noir naturalistic Rogai-penned tracks to worship and adore — he and his crew cover the Leonard Cohen masterpiece “Chelsea Hotel # 2.”
-PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER

"Haunting, hushed vocals and introspective songs elegantly couched in understated arrangements"
-THE MORNING CALL
