All Music Guide
The Junkies have crafted a song cycle that at first glance seems at odds with their rootsy Great White North Americana, but as it turns out, modern Chinese culture has inspired the veteran Canadian outfit to create one its best and most fascinating collections to date.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe
Much is packed into this 50-minute head trip: there’s the Junkies’ signature bluesy, lean melancholy; collages of field recordings Timmins made of daily life in Chinese towns; songs and performances by two of the Chinese rock musicians that Timmins came to admire; and, of course, the ethereal vocals of his sister Margo Timmins.
Read Full Review >PopMatters
Renmin Park, the first in a planned four-part series of recordings to be released over the next 18 months, continues on the same proud, artistic creative path.
