“Unafraid to put her voice profoundly at the fore and to let the beauty of each melodic moment linger, she stirs and soars in wordless interludes and haunted verses. A patient songwriter capable of great dynamic range, profound of talent, and poetically forcible, the truth has its day in every cut of Heather’s catalogue.”
– Nicholas England
