Press Quotes

Du folk fragile de naufragé, des chansons bouteilles à la mer auxquelles on a pu s’accrocher comme à des bouées.

Les Inrocks

There’s a sensitivity that’s fantastic. It’s tough. It’s real. But melodically, it’s so strong that it brings you somewhere else altogether. I love this woman. She’s completely different from everyone else. And she’s super young.

Laurent Saulnier, Francos de Montréal

un deuxième album étincelant […] treize chansons folk frappantes de vérité […] un album généreux, gorgé de chansons écorchées.

TSUGI

Dans le noir is a collection of scathing, no-holds-barred mostly stripped-down folky tunes that is anything but light, fluffy pop fare. It’s also pretty great. […] it’s a strong collection.

Brendan Kelly, The Montreal Gazette

Elle a un talent fou pour communiquer quelque chose de super intime qui se passe au fin fond d’elle-même […] une poésie super intéressante sur une musique très dépouillée, presque lo-fi, presque grunge.

Rebecca Makonnen, Esprit critique

Nolin has written 13 raw songs about failed relationships and self-image, her beautiful voice breaking your heart with each verse she finishes.

Holly Gordon, CBC Music
