The first thing you’ll notice about Dilly Dally is Katie Monk’s voice. Every word, every note is a battle to escape. Singing sounds excruciating, forcing all of the air out of her body in a violent trial by fire . Even when she takes a step back, she’s filled with an acerbic knowing: “She’s a really good friend,” Monks throws out in a casual aside before descending into another firing line of howls. She’s backed by murky grunge, a carefully constructed tidal wave of sound that ebbs and flows with her vocals. The Toronto four-piece has been taking things slow and methodically, just like their music — they’ve been around since 2009, but have only released some sound each one more precise than the last.
