Illinois Entertainer: "No stranger to the local indie scene, Cameron McGill & What Army turn in another consistent collection upgrading from Post-Important to Parasol. Warm Songs For Cold Shoulders once again weaves witty lyrics alongside a sonic spread that pulls from the folk of Woody Guthrie, the experimental surf sounds of Brian Wilson, and the political edge of Neil Young."


This is exactly the kind of record we hoped Cameron McGill would make for his Parasol debut; songs stripped down and stories laid bare. The songs show a similar vulnerability evident in many of McGill's recordings, though here he returns to the thoughtful folk musings he has made his signature. There is always enough pop to make the songs memorable, but this album deals a weightier hand than his last, the self-released Hold On Beauty. Cameron is aided & abetted by vocalist Kathleen Bracken (Those Transatlantics) on a handful of duets and backed by What Army, comprised of Noah Harris (Elanors), Daniel McMahon (Wandering Sons), Rodrigo Palma (Judah Johnson) and Darren Garvey (Andreas Kapsalis Trio).
