"The twosome's airy yet organic pop has a soul-tickling emotional weight that many bands would die for. Starry-eyed yet also very grounded, Ellery's sound is romantic, dreamy, moving and flawlessly executed." (Cincinnati CityBeat)

"each song is supported by expert arrangements and instrumentation...Even familiar themes like loneliness and love flourish with a new-found freshness." (Performing Songwriter)

"Tasha and Justin Golden combine skillful, melodic instrumentation, intelligent but unassuming lyrics, and captivating vocals to make engaging indie pop on Lying Awake." (Paste Magazine)

"Singer Tasha Golden has a stirring, delicately soulful voice that guides the listener through the album with a gentle yet assured hand, delivering the towering melodies with a snug intimacy...If this is just an introduction, keep an eye on Ellery: few local acts have ever mustered such a commanding first step." (Cincinnati CityBeat)

"Check them out before they're on the cover of Rolling Stone." (Savannah Morning News)

"One of the few acts to come across my desk in a long while whose recorded work actually lives up to the hype surrounding it, this married duo of Tasha and Justin Golden make passionate, spiritually invigorating postmodern folk-pop that is as memorable as it is easy to swallow...the songs are as good as anything you'll hear from major Adult Contemporary stars." (Connect Savannah, GA)

"hypnotizing vocals" (Charlotte Observer)

"a smartly crafted, gorgeously sung collection of alt-folk pop" (Between the Lines, Detroit)

"their sound is rich, intricate and iced with a voice no less than mesmerizing" (Mountain Xpress, Asheville NC)
