by Sandra Kurtz, May 2017
● “It’s possible that this is more than one song, but who really knows? Marion Walker plays an eleven-minute mass of music that all flows beautifully in a psych-rock haze. I’m reminded of shoegaze and hints of early My Bloody Valentine without the troublesome ego that permeated those worlds. Female and male vocals intertwine throughout to create otherworldly harmonies that captivate and enchant. Got it? Good.”

by Rich Quinlan, July 2015

by Jeremy Wood, July 2015
● “It’s fuzzy, it’s buzzy, it’s muscular, mysterious, and maybe even a little dangerous. There is a shiv hidden in this band’s glovebox.”

by Chad Werner, June 2015

The Stranger: “Marion Walker, Strange Wilds, and Dead Spells”
by Kyle Fleck, June 2015
● “…gritty garage rock with serious psychedelic undertones. In other words, it’s riff rawk that never hesitates to wander away from aggression to meditative passages, be they early-‘70s doom jams, screaming guitar solos, or both.”

● Asheville Grit: “Psych-rockers Marion Walker Play Tiger Mountain June 6”
Interview by Lauryn Higgins, June 2015
● “‘Seriously’ is a punk rock infused floor shaker with a pop underbelly reminiscent of Vivian Girls, complete with a call and response, sing-along refrain. ‘Silver Drone’ is, as you’d expect, a swirling psych-tinged whirlwind with a hypnotic, riff heavy dirge sitting resplendently at the eye of the storm. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.”

by Midwest Record, May 2015

● NewMusicBox: “We Won’t Be in Love Much Longer: Online Premiere”
Interview by Emily Bookwalter, February 2015
● “Marion Walker create a spectacularly haunting mood on their latest single ‘We Won’t Be In Love Much Longer’. The opening eerie piano riff, ethereal tones and beautiful vocal harmonies are nothing short of stellar. The verses feature a slow paced cagey/psych feel and the choruses are doomy and bleak. The song builds up to a blistering guitar lead that fades out into a mysterious ambient drone. An impressive musical achievement to say the least.”
Custom Made Music: “6 Records CMM Wants You To Know”
by Dave Allison, February 2015
● “It’s fuzzed-out psych rock, with lovely, twinned male-and-female vocals buried in reverb and noise over country-like chord progressions.”
