Birds of Wales: a collective of Canadian artists from Toronto and Vancouver. Their style is Canadiana, their lyrics are real and relevant and their tunes are just downright memorable.
A part of the juggernaut that is the Canadian Folk Revival, here’s one of the bands who have strongly put themselves above a sea of mediocrity and trend-hoppers and have proven that they belong with the heavy hitters of their genre.
Their new album, Belgravia Hotel, is a wonderfully delicious slice of real life told through music. Opportunity, adventure, tragedy, love lost and found, all is explored in this sonic journey that the Birds lead us on as we indulge in this album.
From rocky ballades to emotional musical soliloquies and back to upbeat songs that would make perfect ambiance in a local pub, every lyrics is honest and relevant and every melody just feels right to listen to. This is a fulfilling album that holds something for every mood; good times and bad, times of passion and times of loneliness, this isn’t an album, this is a companion.
As I hear these songs I’m imagining them playing during afternoons with barbecue and beers on the back deck and nights on the dock at the cottage. I think it’s safe to say that this summer’s soundtrack is here.
Standout tracks for me on this album are Some People Tell Me, Just Right, Life and the beautiful single Uninteresting; though don’t think that means that there are any bad songs on this album, the entire track list is solid and there isn’t a single song that doesn’t make your little eardrums feel warm and fuzzy.
Oh yeah, and unlike 95% of the self-appointed new Canadian Folk movement, Birds of Wales actually knows the roots of their genre and focus on creating beautiful music as opposed to finding the right plaid shirt and making sure their beards are scruffy enough.
Do yourself a favour and get this album. From beautiful love songs to playful drinking tunes, your 2010 summer will suffer if you do not have this album in your library and playlists.
