It's not very often that I'll write about an artist literally the day after I first heard them, but I've got a good feeling about this guy. And by this guy, I mean Dallas Green, who goes under the alias City and Colour for his recordings. Why the extra u? Well, because he's Canadian, of course. Looking a bit into how long he's been around leads me to inevitably being slightly ashamed, since he's been active and winning Juno awards (au Canada) for about five years at this point.
In any case, better late than never? The album I'm currently working my way through, Bring Me Your Love, falls pretty lock-step in with my default taste in music-acoustic guitar, folksy sound, and as Green puts it himself, music to sort of escape to. I will personally be using it to escape from the banality of filing away my entire last year of work between now and tomorrow, my last day working in Philly before The Move, Part Deux, to NYC and the day I officially consider myself a resident of New York.
Try these to get started:
Sleeping Sickness-sounds pretty close to live, which I like
Sensible Heart
Waiting
What Makes A Man
And in almost definitive proof of the fact that people can be fans of both folk and metal-ish (? not sure how to define this) without severe cognitive dissonance, Dallas Green is ALSO the singer for a band called Alexisonfire. It's pretty funny to see the difference between the two....
