Event
Great Lake Swimmers & The Broderick
MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG & STANDARD RECORDING COMPANY PRESENT
Great Lake Swimmers (Toronto)
EYE WEEKLY SAYS:
"Toronto's Great Lake Swimmers continue to hone a remarkably haunting, heartfelt folk-pop sound, mixing ambient textures with skilful instrumental interplay. Tony Dekker's voice is still the band's most captivating presence, capable of turning the seemingly mundane observations of 'Backstage with the Modern Dancers' into a harrowingly mournful tale. That deceptively simple song demonstrates that Dekker's gifts as a vocalist are matched by his direct yet multi-layered lyricism - a romantic ode to our geography emerges in 'Your Rocky Spine,' while 'There is a Light' is a delicate protest song whose pointed wordplay is tempered by a dreamy arrangement. As a trio rounded out by inventive multi-instrumentalists Erik Arnesen and Colin Huebert, the group sounds rather lush here; recording in a hall with natural reverb and calling in talents like Sarah Harmer and Owen Pallett surely affects the sound. The Swimmers exude confidence and conviction on Ongiara, an understated masterpiece."
PITCHFORK SAYS:
"If you've ever peered down into the murky waters of Lake Michigan, you find that the beach'll do just fine, thanks. So take note of the bravery of maverick alt-countryman Tony Dekker, aka Great Lake Swimmers, who-- following his present overseas excursion with band-- will hit the dusty trails of the U.S. in search of adventure next month. The jaunt aims to drum up support for Great Lake Swimmers' otherworldly third album Ongiara, out May 8 on Nettwerk. Ongiara features ten tracks of languid folk and guest spots from, among others, Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett."
The Broderick (Bloomington, IN)
MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG SAYS:
"MOKB wishes big things for the semi-local band formerly known as 806 Main St - we've made that no secret. We love this scrappy young band, and we've talked about the young welps on multiple occasions. They've made a lot of changes in the last six months...they've moved to Bloomington, IN, reconfigured and pared down, renamed themselves and are self-releasing their second EP this month...all still before being of legal drinking age."
