Free Music Review: Another Canadian Gem
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a great CD from a gifted Canadian vocalist and Musician. Sarah Harmer has never been afraid to explore different types of music or instrumentation from album to album or even song to song...that is evident on this well-crafted CD.
The lead off song "Around this Corner" is my favorite track on the CD. It will having you singing along after just a play or two. What other pop song can you think of off the top of your head that has a clarinet solo in it?
Other highlights include "Basemant Apartment," "Uniform Gray" and Coffee Stain." This is a wonderfull listen from start to finish crafted by a great artist. Listen to all of her CD's and see for yourself the versatility that she has. Even better, if you have the chance...catch her live show! You will not be sorry you spent the money on the ticket.
You Were Here Poster
Sarah Harmer, the former lead singer of the Canadian band Weeping Tile, steps out with a U.S. solo debut that seems at first a timid guest and then quickly turns into a valued presence. In incorporating roots, pop, and folk sensibilities, Harmer performs what might be called "homemade" music, writing intensely personal lyrics about relationship anticipation and angst, setting them afloat on simple guitars, drum loops, and cello and clarinet solos. "Why do they call it the past / When nothing's past?" she sings in a whispered soprano on the opening cut, "Around This Corner." But it's hardly downer music. Mostly, Harmer peddles poetic ruminations about emotional journeys, cast in pleasing metaphors--an elegant moonlight ride ("Lodestar"), a basement apartment ("below street level, barely alive"), and unspoken infidelity ("there's a coffee stain around your eye"). From stories of menacing shadows to boundless faith, you won't mistake it for background music. --Alanna NashCountry Music CDs
