Catherine MacLellan - Silhouette

Catherine MacLellan - Steeped in backwoods blues, inspired retro jazzy pop and sparse country/folk, the fourth album from Halifax, Nova Scotia singer/songwriter has an appealing directness and honesty to complement her confessional, sometimes brutal lyrical content...behind the sweetly beguiling voice are some dark truths and intimate tales waiting to be heard // Release: Silhouette (July 5, True North Canada) // Sounds like: there's something in the water up north that brings out the straightforward, intelligent and irony-free to this completely engaging collection of starkly gorgeous songs // Quote: "Silhouette is a collection of songs that I recorded with my PEI (Prince Edward Island) band in a log house in the PEI hills. These songs range from sad heart break to not cheating to death, dying and depression." // What we like: the chiming guitars and harmonied chorus in the upbeat "Stealin"...whisper-close intimacy of the lovely, instant classic balladry of "Now and Then"...drifting, ethereal feel and of the glowing "Lines On the Road"...
