“Stunning return by one of Scotland’s finest lyricists. 'Squall Echo Rale' is a memorable and moving collection, with the stunningly poignant 'Shrapnel' easily a contender for this year's finest song.’ Subba-cultcha.com

‘Squall Echo Rale is packed to bursting with quality songs that are instantly accessible. I did what I always do when reviewing albums. I played this through once, put it aside for a while and then played it again... The thing is I couldn't stop playing it. 10/10.’ Review Graveyard

‘Louise Connell is a shiny jewel on the UK music scene, one to restore faith in songwriting’s ability to constantly reinvent itself & also remain true to itself. She also possesses a keen ear for melody, which she infuses into her lyrics with the ease of a summer’s walk. To listen to Connell sing her songs is a highly recommended & sublime joy’
