"The Canadian songwriter blends into the atmosphere of her piano and acoustic guitar, presenting her exceedingly intimate music as an inventive and subtly visceral experience".

"Every album that Jennifer Castle makes feels like a guidebook on how to live. On her previous two records released under her own name - 2014's Pink City and 2018's Angels of Death - Castle sings of nature, love, death and their interwoven beauty. On her new record, Monarch Season, Castle returns to these themes, but this time she performs her songs in a minimalist setting. Her messages, in turn, feel louder, even though you will find yourself instinctively leaning in to catch every moment".

"A special record, written and recorded before Covid-19, yet a completely solo, acoustic recording that captures Castle in the most intimate, unadorned setting possible; a guitar or piano, a harmonica and a voice. From her kitchen on the coast of Lake Erie in Ontario, Castle watched as the monarch butterflies performed their autumnal dance. Capturing her attention, she "began to see wings in everything," forming the basis for this collection of songs that take to the sky, unfurling thoughts and sounds with purity and grace".

"This homespun suite of piano, harmonica and finger-picked acoustic guitar is dotted by natural insect and wind sounds wafting through open windows, and [Castle's] reverb-soaked voice has the effect of a close-quarters conversation. The album, withs its Kodachrome warmth and minimalist posture, captures a moment in time, and makes the case for listening as a revolutionary act of intimacy, where headphones and vinyl form a psychic connection between artist and fan".
