About
Catfish Haven
Label: Secretly Canadian
"Hunter's voice can crank up like a lawnmower or suddenly dip into bluesy melancholy with equal facility...he belts like Van Morrison at his amped-up best... Catfish Haven remind us: Tuneful, passionate singing, lucid songwriting, and engaging riffs."- PITCHFORKMEDIA.COM (7.6 Rating)
“This is soul music for future generations of rowdy rustic types, and when singer George Hunter proclaims “I’m down on bended Knee,” with his raspy wail, we learn that the Midwestern trailer-park-born reincarnation of Otis Redding is a white kid strumming the shit out of his acoustic guitar… Catfish Haven have put together a mighty portrait of a band musically going for broke.”
- CMJ
“Catfish Haven's blues-infused ballads and boozy trots possess equal amounts of backwoods authenticity and cosmopolitan flair... They bleed metropolitan with undeniable garage-grime charm and power-pop arrangements.. Hunter's worn-in croon wraps itself around lyrics with whiskey-soaked ease.”
