Praise for In Deep Owl:

"An ambitious offering of songs both hard-hitting and haunting."-WNYC Soundcheck

"Ben Shepherd continues to show his range as a solo artist with his new track "Keystone." Whereas "Baron Robber" was a psych-rock assault and "Collide" offered up dark folk, the latest from the Seattle-based songwriter's upcoming solo debut In Deep Owl is a plodding, bari sax-enhanced dirge - the perfect theme song for a drifter, with Shepherd's vocals showing getting gruff over the grunged-up guitar-play. - SPIN

"[Collide] draws you into its inner sanctum and keeps you spellbound, firmly holding you in place without you ever realizing it." - Consequence of Sound

"[Baron Robber] is bolstered by a pseudo-psychedelic rawness."-ABC News Radio

"[Collide] is a delicate track begging to be heard." - AntiQuiet

"...his vocals float over the guitar." - Noise Creep

"A distant track with a commanding bass riff that grounds the listeners into Shepherd's sympathetic moaning lyrics, [Collide] features a hauntingly deep croon that rumbles over the twang treble of a mandolin." - Glide Magazine
