January 30th, 2010

“8/10 Stars” – Blurt

“A solid collection of broken-bottle ballads and rockers.” – The Onion A.V. Club

“Highly recommended.” – Ryan’s Smashing Life

“I know we are only a month in, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Nowhere Nights ended up on more than a few best of lists by the end of the year. I know it’ll be on mine.” – Twangville

“Essential listening: [Anderson] is better than most at what he does.” – Ninebullets

“[Nowhere Nights'] anchor, and its strength is that its location is emotional, not geographical. Well, that and Anderson’s ability to distill big moments into little gems…” – The Oregonian

“Muscular rockers such as All Lit Up and Torn Apart flare up and blaze bonfire-strong and the slowed-down numbers feel like they were captured late at night by the light of a dying flame. – Country Standard Time

“What you hear on Nowhere Nights are the words of an artist deeply rooted to what it used to mean to be a songwriter.” – Fensepost

“This odd combination of piercing analysis and resigned fatalism gives the album its power.” – Geoffrey Himes

“I Was a Photograph will be the song of the year.” – My Aimz Is True

“I Was A Photograph is not only the stand out track on this album, but the song of the year.” – A Truer Sound

“[Nowhere Nights] is like a freedom drive down some distant highway, the windows down and Born To Run blaring from the tape deck.” – Last Year’s Girl

“Kasey Anderson is a great songwriter.” – One Chord to Another

“A gorgeous album, alternating between up-beat bar tunes and slow-bleeding ballads.” – More Cowbelle

“A shoo-in for Top 10 of 2010.” – Front Porch Musings

“Anderson’s landscape might be full of small town trainwrecks and awkward encounters, but his songs are full-blown cinematic masterpieces.” – Oregon Music News

“A front runner for Best of 2010; Nowhere Nights is the real deal.” – Beat Surrender

“This is an artist to follow into the new decade.” – Northwest Indie Music
