How lovely. #basiabulat #meltrick_liveography 2013 @basiabulat #TallTallShadow tour show in Boston/Somerville, MA-USA (at Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant & Music Club)

Basia Bulat's album release announcement 

http://basiabulat.com/

I have long awaited new material from this Toronto singer-songwriter ever since falling in love with her 2010 album, Heart of My Own. Her sound is something unique -- a fervent yet almost hallow sounding voice matches impeccably well with her impressive prowess on the autoharp. Each musical component is comprised of a multitude of sound, though they are combined into a pure and heartfelt whole. One of my favorite songs of hers, The Shore features only Bulat and her autoharp, despite the spectrum of sound, demonstrating her true ability to create depth out of simplicity. Granted I have not heard much of her new material, but based on what has been released online, I am left wanting. According to her website's biographical section, she continues on her high musical standard, but modernizes it (a term I have become wary of in the current musical community). "Tall Tall Shadow isn't acoustic folk music... chord and strum are a launchpad for wilder sounds."  I commend her for experimenting with her work as an artist, especially on album number three, but frankly I miss the old stuff. This refocused image is on a different wavelength, much more dark (reflective of a difficult time in Bulat's life) with a strong influence of "echo and reverb, electronic flutters and electric autoharp". Bulat co-produced this album with Tim Kingsbury, of Arcade Fire, and Mark Lawson, who won a Grammy for his work on The Suburbs, which gives me some hope for the rest of the new material, however hesitant I may be.
