Reviews
“This is an exciting disc in that it is among the first solid steps of a career that will certainly flourish..” –Chris Martin Penguin Eggs Summer 2006
“This isn’t your mom and pop folk duo with acoustic guitars-it’s an electric guitar partnered up with and angry and lonely Eastern European accordion.” –Dave Stobbe, The Rocky Mountain Banff
“Twilight Hotel’s brash, brooding, brand new sophomore effort, Bethune – a shady and distant country relative to music from the likes of Nick Cave and Tom Waits – gives visceral voice to the down-and out and those left behind with a healthy mix of reverence and spiteful defiance.” –Steve Baylin, Ottawa Express Cover Story
“If Tom Waits were telling you about this really weird night he spent in Paris, this might be the music you would hear with the story. Each (song) is filled with rich imagery and storytelling, and perhaps that’s where the timeless quality comes from.” - Dave Garvey, Stylus Magazine Winnipeg
