Add Date: March 10
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Album: Lost Channels
Label: Nettwerk/weewerk
Genre: Folk
Comments: Having toured with Feist and Andrew Bird, and critically acclaimed in their native Canada, it’s a sad surprise Great Lake Swimmers are not more well-known. They create soothing, ambient folk music (Nick Drake/Neil Young comparisons have been made), and their latest release Lost Channels is a rustic, equally wistful and comforting production. Although some songs venture into a louder, less-spacious, more-rock direction, the distinct vocals keep the record grounded in ambient territory reminiscent of warm evenings outside. An excellent addition to WLUR’s recent awesome-folk-music influx (following last week’s Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy); start with tracks 1, 2, 5, and 10.
