Canadian singer songwriter Andy Shauf has had quite the year, his second album “The Party2 was released to massed critical acclaim, and a Polaris Prize nomination, and he’s spent most of the rest of it touring the world with a series of packed solo shows, and prestigious support slots. This week Andy Schauf has shared the video to The Party’s stand out moment, the lyrically sublime, “Quite Like You”.
Like much of the album The Party, “Quite Like You2 is an acutely observed tale of the mundane dramas of suburban living. Andy narrates a tale of failed, drunken flirtation with his best friends oft-mistreated girlfriend. Musically it’s something of a departure for Schauf , building around an almost bossa-nova beat, and a prominent pulsing bass-line. A timely reminder of one of the year’s most intriguing albums, and the animated video is fantastic too.
The Party is out now via Anti-. Andy Shauf tours the UK in February,
