Indie Folk Americana Canadiana 101 - Vol. 4

This week features tunes from Sarah Cicero, Quinn Devlin, Neighbour Andy, and more.

Album picks and reviews in ten words for the roots rock/indie folk/singer-songwriter scene.

Sarah Cicero - Indifferent A pulsing slow jam that reminds me of KD Lang.

Quinn Devlin - Lillian Gorgeous lap steel fades in and out with the keys.

Neighbour Andy - Wild One The type of tune that makes road trips fly by.

Robby Hecht, Jill Andrews - When I Wish Upon A Star Intimate overdubbed bleeps and bloops support tight writing and arrangement.

Sam Weber - Charlotte Conversational vocal lines groove with a rock solid rhythm section

Jacob Weil - Bet & Bust Quirky percussion with pots and pans works really well here.

Mike Viola - Drug Rug Paints an apathetic picture of status quo in good way.

Jefrey Siler - Heart Decides Great-sounding Wurlitzer piano gives this a really nice flavour.

Maddie Storvold - I Don’t Miss You Chorus had me hooked; made me want to write songs.

Riley Whisler - Keeping Score It has horns! Minimal indie soul/retro rock, uplifting stuff.

Steve Stout - Fade Away Thankfully found this one right before putting the list together.

Arts Fishing Club - hello heartbreak If Weezer did the Americana thing, it’d sound like this.
