    Press Reviews
    Cartoon Twilight's distinct blend of gospel organ, swamp rhythm, avant-noise and country twang hovers loosely above singer Leggett's appealingly Lomaxian folk aesthetic, creating a mood that's both reverent to the past and surprisingly fresh.--Adam Druckman, DETROIT METRO TIMES.Sometimes it's an early Pink Floyd riff, other times the ghost of Allen Ginsberg seems to be stopping by...all of these things blend into this intense, power pop THING that slips up on you like a dark cloud.--Alan Goldsmith, ANN ARBOR AGENDA.
