Stephen Oliver discovers an album of lush adult pop songs from the Montreal duo
Arbutus Records
Released: 02.06.23
Montreal duo Heather Foster Kirkpatrick and Dylan Konrad Obront have created an album full of lush adult pop songs. Whether it’s singing about a break up on Enough Is Enough to the toe-tapping Fleetwood Mac-esque The Exiles, a maturity of themes precipitates through the musical veneer. The pleasure here is in the unhurried country feel; each track is distinctly different but they also complement each other.
Whilst the lyrics are clearly a journey through self discovery, there is also a celebration in getting the important calls in life correct. The album also features Mitch Davis on saxophone, which compliments the guitars and crisp percussion. This combination results in a life affirming collection of songs that can accompany a chilled out evening.
