Allister Thompson is a Canadian singer-songwriter
"The songs on Shadowlands glisten with acoustic folk melodies,
pastoral orchestral arrangements and even the occasional psychedelic moment."
-Progressive Ears
"It is immediately apparent that here is an artist with rare talent,
the gentle rainfall guitar blending wonderfully with the contemplative lyrics
to create a mesmerising slice of acoustic wizardry."
-Terrascope Online
"A deeply satisfying outing by a gifted musician. Bringing together the hauntingly atmospheric textures of Pink Floyd
and the moving quirkiness of The Decemberists, this is an album that will appeal both to lovers of indie-folk
and singer-songwriter music and psychedelic progressive rock."
-Progressor
