“Scott Laurent’s fourth album is a pop knockout.â€
~ Babysue.com
“Laurent mixes a bit of the singer-songwriter with a sophisticated pop sound that is nearly on par with the best of Michael Penn, Semisonic and the fine recent material of the Jayhawks, Should really be a Triple-A radio staple.â€
~ Fufkin.com
“Laurent has created a distinct sound that can be melancholy and nostalgic one minute yet uplifting and vibrant the next. Real songs for real people played with skill, conviction, heart and soul.â€
~ Amplifier
“Laurent writes passionate, image conjuring, Midwest-style rock songs and he sings the hell out of themâ€
~ No Depression
“Original, heartfelt, don’t-compare-me-to-anyone quality that is rare. The truth is out indeed.â€
~ Minneapolis, Star Tribune
What we, or at any rate, I refer to confidently as a memory—meaning a moment, a scene, a fact that has been subjected to a fixative and thereby rescued from oblivion—is really a form of storytelling that goes on continually in the mind and often changes with the telling. Too many conflicting emotional interests are involved for life ever to be wholly acceptable, and possibly it is the work of the storyteller to rearrange things so they conform to this end. In any case, in talking about the past we lie with every breath we draw.
~William Maxwell, So Long See You Tomorrow
