Press Quotes Harbour :

Remarkably strong debut-album from the experienced musicians surrounding Marijn Wijnands

(...) Wijnands has a very personal sound (...) delicate songs that for one time are not fake or

sentimental, but are ultimately authentic in their purity(...) Ma Rain is the first of her kind in

Holland.“A bittersweet song like cruel cruel is easily one of the prettiest dutch popsongs ever

made.(...) Wijnands sings pure and intense, sweet without getting naïve, poëtic and strong

without getting sentimental....”

Jan Vollaard/ NRC Handelsblad

“If an American band would produce an album like Harbour, it would send a jolt through the entire

roots-music scene.

Let’s hope Ma Rain gets a similar treatment, for this would be well deserved.

Erwinz/ Velvet Music.nl

“Harbour proves that Dutch Rootsmusic can compete with their American counterparts.

Wijnands has a beautiful,

intense voice that’s often melancholic but can also intensively draw out and swing carefully.”

Volkskrant

Lyrically intelligent, well crafted melodies and a rousing voice .

Excellent mucisians shape Marijn’s poignant thoughts in a powerful yet delicate form. Of

international allure.

John Oomkes/Haarlems Dagblad

Harbour is a strong album, with which the Amsterdam Singer rivals her twin Lucinda Williams with

ease”
