The Ontario Sessions
EP and short film
Nov 14, 2025 release

"There is something about “Seasons of Silence,” the first of the two tracks on this teaser ep, that I was finding hard to put my finger on —something extraordinary at the heart of the song that echoed, if not the sound, then indeed the spirit, of earlier, iconic artists."

- Dave Franklin The Big Takeover

"...His upcoming EP is both a short film and record that sees Hunter documenting his time in Algonquin National Park while grappling with the recent loss of his father with the film showing him performing covers of songs by iconic Canadian artists such as JONI MITCHELL and NEIL YOUNG..."

-Pete RingMaster

"Everyday flies away in a haze searching for us.”

Lines like this, combined with Hunter’s passionate and breathy vocals make this a tune you’ll want to love live and yearn for a studio version as well. Simply put, it’s one of the best original tracks we’ve heard in 2025."

-Patrick Hickey Jr. Review Fix

"Laurin Hunter, an independent singer-songwriter based in the San Francisco Bay Area, continues to weave together strands of folk, Americana, rock, and pop into a sound that’s both emotionally resonant and musically rich. His previous album Face Up showcased an artist on the brink of a breakthrough — and now, with The Ontario Sessions – EP Teaser, Laurin opens the door to the next compelling chapter in his artistic journey."

"Silver and Blue"

"This track ("Silver and Blue") from Laurin Hunter has so many of the key elements of good music for me. Hunter’s guitar and vocal are both extremely quality. I try not to throw around iconic comparisons too often, but Hunter has a real vintage Stephen Stills sound to his work.. The romantic context is wonderful and the performance is exceptional."

- Ear To The Ground Music

Face Up Album

"The sheer skill the folk singer-songwriter displays is irresistible and calls you onward into a world drenched in greying storm clouds. His soul rips open, and every emotion he’s possibly ever felt comes gushing out of him.

And there’s no possible way of holding it back.

And that’s quite alright"
