My Shadow Falls For You
Coming out later this month is the new album from Hello, Blue Roses, a collaboration between Sydney Vermont and Dan Bejar (of New Pornographers fame). Entitled “The Portrait Is Finished And I Have Failed To Capture Your Beauty… “, the duo has created a tapestry of beautiful songs that evoke emotive ’80s-era post-punk, psych-folk, and the arty styling of artists like Kate Bush and This Mortal Coil.
Hello, Blue Roses
“Following a month spent bundled up in the deep freeze of the Arctic Circle making music & art, Hello, Blue Roses’ Dan Bejar and Sydney Vermont return to their hometown of Vancouver just as the greater part of North America feels a shivery winter continue to cover the country with mounds of white fluffy stuff … Drawing on everything from an unabashed love of 80’s AOR ala Prefab Sprout and Kate Bush to prime Aquarian-age femme folk of the 60’s and 70’s to create an infectious, readymade classic. “
The song “Shadow Falls” is an instant classic (people are already covering it), the kind of tune that is infectious almost immediately. Plaintive, sweet, catchy, and simple. It makes me look forward to picking up the whole album come January 22nd.
