“[His album "Love Returns" is]…a vibrant reminder of what Carroll does best, whether it's conjuring vintage R&B/soul sounds, or composing evocative ballad(s) which manage to bring to mind both novelist Annie Proulx and John Prine, or coming up with a country ditty as innocently engaging as On the Front Porch.”
The Washington Post
—
“…he headlines this session with talent and charm to spare.”
The Washington Post

Praise for Matty:
“… brims with retro tangs and luminous jangly guitars resulting in music simultaneously dazzlingly good and infectiously alluring.” - The Young Folks
“… a top notch listen. …a balance between Country, even Americana and Guitar Pop, but that just makes the album welcomingly less predictable.” - I Don’t Hear A Single
“ … a rousing dose of English pop-rock that recalls the Smiths, 1980s new wave, and the 1990s Brit-pop invasion.” - Glide Magazine
“… spirited, Indie rock melodies with poignant lyrics.” - Imperfect Fifth
“Springsteen-esque working-class anthems, heartbreaking ballads centered around mental health, and REM-inspired dance numbers paint the colors and nuances of humanity across Harborcoat’s wonderfully crafted canvas.” - Local Spins Grand Rapids
