"bright, catchy indie pop"
NEW YORK TIMES

★★★1/2 “What remains? The ‘Diner by the Train,’ hopes Walter Salas-Humara [co-writer with Jonathan Rundman] …[the] evocation of history is hardly nostalgic, but rather the sober realization that we are lost without it.” 
ROLLING STONE (Germany)

“beguiling”
CHICAGO SUN TIMES

“plenty of cleverness”
MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE

“lovely”
WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO

“Rundman has warranted comparisons to Freedy Johnston and Paul Westerberg, and his current set of songs combines power-pop sharpness with Euro-folk and new wave sounds”
MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

“Who is this guy? Intellectually alert singer-songwriter? Brilliant folk musician? Emerging pop artist? All of the above.”
SiriusXM

“stacks up well next to the best of Fountains of Wayne, Guster, and The Decemberists for songcraft, musical appeal, production values, unpredictability, and sheer smarts”
LACROSSE TRIBUNE
