“For more than a decade, Sonia and songwriting/life partner Travis Even have deepened the band’s melodic and theatrical aesthetic to a place where new album Golden Bough could exist. The self-produced project was mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Chelsea Wolfe). The album’s title track comes alive with immersive storytelling, and fits within an album experience that transcends genre borders. More than just a band, Lovely Dark represent a movement, building bridges between cultures and redefining rock music.”

“Sonia's vocals fit the atmosphere so well you could've believed it was in a "Game of Thrones" scene, and that's the kind of emotion people feel when you focus on the world-building portion of your sound... It feels like the long slow work of stitching a life together after hardship - collective healing. ”

“Layered and theatrical … like a walk through a fairy-tale forest.”

“Lovely Dark is the perfect description of the Minneapolis band's sound. Their brand of dark folk-flavored indie rock mixes the beauty of their voices with untamed intensity.”

— City Pages

“Whether a full six-person band with a beautiful prog sound (featuring two drum kits!) or stripped down into a two piece highlighting vocalist Sonia Even and guitarist Travis Even, Lovely Dark remain one of the most talented and creative rock outfits in Minneapolis-St.Paul. Making music for over a decade, the band's live shows continue to wow at bars and clubs around town.”
