About two months ago, a reader recommended an artist named Basia Bulat based on my love for St. Vincent. Boy, what a great suggestion! To a degree, Basia Bulat’s debut, Oh, My Darling does remind me of St. Vincent, especially songs like "I Was A Daughter", "Snakes And Ladders", "Little One", and "The Pilgriming Vine" where the rich instrumentals produce some beautiful multi-texture layers of music. On the other hand, tracks like "Little Waltz", "Bird Of Paradise", and "Secret" are as bare and as gentle as songs from Dear Companion by Meg Baird. Oh, My Darling is essentially a collection of some very gorgeous tunes and it is an ideal companion for those peaceful autumn walks.
Little Waltz
Snakes And Ladders [wicked-cool song]
Secret [wicked-cool song]

Oh, My Darling is out in Europe via Rough Trade and it will hit stores in Canada tomorrow (18)!

"...ideal companion for those peaceful autumn walks."
Very nice, very very nice.
She is playing two CD release shows at The Music Gallery this Saturday, if you don't know already.
Yea thanks, she's also play for free at Soundscape tonight at 6.
hmm, and I was just thinking that this was more of a summer album.
