PRESS

Amplify:  "The nine new songs tug at your heart — art for art’s sake. These cinematic soundscapes feature Jason’s carefully curated production and soulful playing of a 100-year-old Weissenborn lap steel guitar that guides this healing journey. The songs are filled with joy and despair, reconciliation and ruminations. At their core is a message of love and hope."

Winnipeg Free Press:  Four Stars: Made of Sin - Review: "When this sound is paired with the sweet voice and melodic finger-picking of Nadia Burnstick, the husband-and-wife team from St. Claude, creates wide-screen musical worlds."

Between the Grooves (podcast with Malcolm Burn):  "Personally, I think it's almost misleading to call Burnstick a "Folk duo" because when one thinks of Folk music one thinks of someone strumming away on an acoustic guitar but Burnstick's music covers a lot more territory but in a beautiful, cinematic way, which I really appreciate.  A combination of great singing, great songs and beautiful recording - for me, it doesn't get any better than that."

Windspeaker:  "That love is perhaps clearest in the first single from the album, “Closer”. An expression of the overwhelming emotion that came with the birth of their son, Burnstick also wrote the song as a prayer for guidance to be able to support him through life."

Winnipeg Free Press:  "Burnstick’s new album is the band’s most intimate and personal release yet."

Canadian Beats:  "Evoking a spectrum of emotions through poignant storytelling and harmonious melodies, JUNO-nominated folk duo Burnstick has spent over a decade crafting deeply resonant music that strikes a chord with audiences."

Monday Magazine:  "I’m a music lover always in search of the next song that I can’t stop putting on repeat. And while I’ve found so many great songs in the last year, it’s been hard to come by a new song that really moves me. That all changed when I heard Burnstick’s new single Closer, released on Jan. 26."

Winnipeg Free Press:  "The music has a dreamy soundscape reminiscent of artists such as Loreena McKennitt or Enya rather than the more traditional folk melodies from their 2019 debut record, Kiyânah, which earned a Canadian Folk Music Award and a Juno nomination.

The Carillon:  "With such a distinct musical style and impactful mode of performance, there is no doubt that Burnstick deserves to be remembered for decades to come."

Roots Music Canada: ...they really sound lovely together, both live and on record. It’s understated, intimate and seemingly-effortlessly beautiful. Four hooves up.
