GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS

Toronto indie-folk/rock darlings Great Lake Swimmers return with their fifth studio album ‘New Wild Everywhere’ and accompanying European tour, as a follow up to 2009’s Juno and Polaris-nominated album ‘Lost Channels’.

‘New Wild Everywhere’ captures all of the excitement and intuitive musicianship of a group at the peak of their creative powers. Vocalist Tony Dekker has spent the last decade entrancing listeners with his unforgettable voice and compelling songwriting, and Great Lake Swimmers have long been a word-of-mouth favorite in their home country of Canada for whom critical mass was inevitable. Their style has been compared to Red House Painters, Nick Drake, Iron & Wine and Neil Young, as well as Will Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy) and Sufjan Stevens.

Check out their video for the classic ‘Your Rocky Spine’:

BARZIN

A project that began sometime in 1995, Barzin was a solo endeavor at its inception. Somewhere along the way, however, Barzin shed its solitary skin and introduced a wide array of characters into its sound. From amongst a rotating cast of musicians, who occasionally made appearances on recordings and at performances, three individuals slowly became a fixture of this project. The three characters in question are Mike Findlay, Suzanne Hancock, and Tony Dekker. With the addition of these musicians the sound of the music has continued to remain true to the aesthetics of quietness and minimalism. It still concerns itself with exploring the quiet side of pop.

In 2003, Barzin released its self-titled debut album through the Montreal based label, Where Are My Records. The following year an E.P. titled ‘Songs for Hinah’, was released through the French based label, Hinah. And in 2006, the second full-length album titled ‘My Life In Rooms’ was released in Canada through Weewerk records, and throughout Europe.
