REVIEWS AND CITATIONS FOR LULLABY SCHOOL

“KRIS GRUEN's Lullaby School has a delicate Americana- influenced sound that is somber and haunting.”
                                                                                            –ASCAP, Playback
“An ethereal mix of acoustic guitar and sparkling backup production as an undercurrent to poetic lyrics that reach far beyond average songwriting. Kris Gruen's inventive approach to songwriting will stretch the limits for an audience hungry for new vistas.”
                                                                                             -Acoustic Live In NYC
“Kris Gruen is no mere imitator. He possesses a sound all his own. Lullaby School is a sweet and tender crop of songs.”
                                                                                            -Rachel Sanders, Exclaim! Canada'a Music Authority
“The soft, soothing, gentle tunes on Lullaby School lay a solid foundation for what is sure to be a lengthy musical career.”
                                                                                            –Babysue
“Gruen successfully transports his listeners to where he wants them to travel. There's a charming song cycle to be heard here. “
                                                                                            –Jeremy Goldmeier, Playbackstl
“Oooooooooh this is utterly lovely: Beautiful melodies, lush harmonies, and all the jingles in the right places. There is the sense of theatre that artists such as Sufjan Stevens achieve, and Gruen's music certainly stands alongside such artists comfortably. Lullaby School is truly a thing of beauty.”

“Lullaby School has an aching, emotional resonance and complex, invigorating songs. The new folk sound has reached our valleys rendering the fatigued sounds of the past irrelevant.”
