Right out of Etobicoke (suburb of Toronto), Basia Bulat has worked to get to where she is now, though I feel she needs to get much more attention. I remember being awe-struck seeing her interviewed in a cineplex premovie show. The fact that an artist I discovered through the indie waves is getting national attention is shocking. She’s released 3 full length albums with her trusty autoharp (I have a copy of them all!). Her latest album, Tall Tall Shadow is oddly chilling, but hits you right where it hurts, the heart. I’ll put a link to the title track, but all of the tunes off the album are perfect reflecting/jamming on the subway music. Never Let Me Go grasps me and holds tightly around my neck. Keep it up Basia! I’m looking forward to seeing you perform live.
