Rave review in Music-News.com
“The Shimmer EP showcases Willson-Piper’s easy neo-psychedelic vibe through songs that feel simple but teem with interesting modulations and choices that boost them beyond simple pop-rock. The most intriguing track being the transportive cowboy piece ‘Hombre’…Tremolo guitar glistens over swerving slide guitar and the steady drum gallop of a long trek across the plains. The song would feel at home next to master Ennio Morricone, modern practitioners Federale, or on the soundtrack of a Vince Gilligan saga set in Albuquerque.”

Arktik Lake featured in American Songwriter
Super proud and excited with the review and article in the prestigious American Songwriter magazine:
“As soon as he heard the tracks, Willson-Piper knew they needed to work together to fully bring these songs to life…the end result is cinematic pop-rock that is at once evocative and accessible.”
