REVIEWS

…It seems as if you’re seated right next to him, at a campfire or on the floor of someone’s dimly lit city apartment, sharing in his heartbreak.
— Sidedoor Mag
...Not only does he have rich lyrics that reach deep into the soul, but he has a knack for lovely song arrangements that cut deep.
— weallwantsomeone.org
...Riun’s journey developing his debut solo album is just as romantic as his emotionally generous music. It’s like the sonic hug we all desperately need right out.
— Citrus Magazine
...Outstanding, young, talented solo artist, comparable with Bon Iver or Vancouver’s Dan Mangan.
— The Vancouver Province Newspaper
...Garner’s songwriting is instinctive and simple, sung with a soft-spoken quality that tells a relatable story.
— Dominionated
...Garner has an almost old and wise personality to his performance; his fragile delivery walks the pace of a man with many more years under his belt. It’s all for the better, as it just adds to the emotion in his voice and as a listener, you feel trust in the words like he’s sharing some deep wisdom.
— Vancouver Weekly
...classic and familiar, yet still fresh. This is a heartfelt and accomplished debut.
