"Imbued with ghosts and memories, Shadows delves deeper into Squires’ brand of mountain folk." - Pop Matters

"It’s a record borne out of legitimate heartbreak, the end of a marriage and the death of a loved one, a brave and honest attempt to deal with big life-changing events. The beauty of it is that the finished work is not just healing and revelatory for the artist. It can help us too. All of us." - Wake the Deaf

"Singing in hushed whispers, North Carolina’s Jeremy Squires is careful not to disturb the ghosts occupying his latest album, Shadows. Maintaining a detached repose, Squires weaves tales of heartbreak and death on songs such as “Carry You” and “Hourglass,” with its hereditary domino effect.

An autumnal album, Shadows is largely unadorned, Squires and an acoustic guitar doing the heavy lifting as on “Open,” a song adapted from a poem by Anna-Lynne Williams (Lotte Kestner). Accented by synth touches on “Your Love” and piano and “Glisten,” Williams adds vocals to the latter, as well as “After All” with is welcomed damnation and album closer, “Woven,” perhaps Squires’ finest musical moment to date."- Bucket Full of Nails


"While Americana music is littered with melancholy tales of drinking, loss, and broken romance, Squires delivers raw, concise lyrics – ungarnished by flowery rhetoric that candidly spell out tragedy. Squires relates sadness in a way that listeners can relate too." - No Depression


"Shadows is fragile, dark and beautiful folk album that isn’t afraid to deal with difficult personal issues." - One Chord To Another
