John A, founder of the land
drunk at the command
as he wrote the constitution
John A, in debt to everyone
while his railway won
the awe of the Dominion
Be to our faults a little blind
and to our virtues always kind
Be to our faults a little blind
and to our virtues always kind
Old Tomorrow
Stephen singing Lennon's song
imagining that John
commended his peacekeeping
Steve pulls a rabbit from a hat
wealth from habitat
Entertainment for the nation
This is the story of a man
who unifies a land
with old self-serving wisdom
North to south and sea to sea
polite complacency
Fore-fathers, sons and daughters

In this album, Emily pushes the boundaries of folk music, by weaving in different instruments and synths, to a great result. The highlight of the album is easily the irrevocable masterpiece 'World Traveller' Alex Marshall
My heart melts for 'Back to the Woods', and I would have ended up buying the CD even if it was just that song on it's own. Throughout the whole album, the melodies are incredibly smooth and textured, while the background instruments intimately fuse with the autoharp in the best possible way. Alex Marshall
The haunting new record from Canadian folk artist Avi C. Engel bridges old and new traditions with a minimalist approach. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 24, 2024
Sanguine but uplifting, the Toronto singer-songwriter's "transfigured" folk songs ponder existential themes with grace and wonder. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 21, 2023
Drift away with these dreamlike songs from reclusive folk singer CARLENE, who pairs evocative lyrics with hushed arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Beautiful and original showcase of the Rashomon Effect through music. The emotional depth and musical range Hannah displays is truly incredible. Easily in my top 5 albums of 2016. Thank you Hannah for this beautiful record. T.J. Dwyer
