ALVVAYS – ” Archie Marry Me “
Posted: April 25, 2014 in MUSICTags: Adult Diversion, Alvvays, Archie Marry Me, Toronto
Alvvays with a great first single“Adult Diversion” this is the follow up and even better than the first song from Alvvays the Toronto based power pop quintet, rapid reverbed jangly guitars aplenty, Beneath the fuzztone guitars and Molly Rankin’s sadsack vocals on what sound at first like straightforward indie-pop tunes beats a droll heart shot through with a subversive streak. Rankin strikes an impressive balance in her lyrics between lovelorn woe and deadpan wit, tackling 20-something romantic angst with a sly wisdom well beyond her (and, frankly, most people’s) years. She and her band of Toronto transplants draw on the wistful, plaintive sound of mid-’80s British indie-pop—jangling guitars, swirls of atmospheric keyboards

BASIA BULAT, this is a definate listen she does not tour very often here in the UK, but this is an incredible performance from Massey Hall in support of her acclaimed album “Tall Tall Shadow”, Canadian songwriter and musician Basia Bulat makes her Massey Hall debut. Basia Bulat, is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter. She is known for performing with an autoharp.

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.
