“Casually magnetic, channeling reticence into a whisper-quiet mystique.. balances his abundant proficiencies with an aesthetic of gleaming calm” Nate Chinen -New York Times
“Terrible Animals sound like an irresistible and raucous foray into the beyond.” Dave Cantor - Downbeat Magazine
“Some musicians exude an indefinable quality. Let’s take Brad Mehldau as an example. It’s not just his choice of notes that he plays, it’s the feel and depth within them that goes beyond explanation. It’s the subtleties and nuances within a run or a flurry. It’s the sincerity combined with a playful joyousness. It’s the surprise, the delicacy, the kinetic energy. It’s the ability to dip in and out of a melody with effortless grace. It’s all of these things and so much more. The spirit of the man can be heard through his music. And so it is with guitarist Lage Lund.. Lund's music on Ashes is hauntingly beautiful, filled with subtle harmonic shifts and dynamic interplay. His guitar work is masterful, combining complexity with emotional depth.” Mike Gates - UKVibe
“a set that really lets all the careful tones and colors of his music come across beautifully – Lage is always a chromatic master, but that quality seems even more foregrounded here, in a way that certainly marks Lund as one of the most distinct talents of his generation on guitar – and a player who really advances some of work of the important masters on his instrument, in ways that hits territory that they never would have even expected” DustyGroove.com
"(Lund) opened huge aural expanses with voicings of just two or three notes, and burned down the house with one impossibly deft solo after another...I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone play the instrument that well " David Adler - All About Jazz
