Basia Bulat – Tall Tall Shadow (2013)

The new record, Tall Tall Shadow, is the third album from the singer songwriter, who has garnered critical acclaim from Pitchfork praising her "rare, extraordinary voice," and Filter, who declares "Bulat can pine with the best of them." Basia co-produced Tall Tall Shadow with Mark Lawson (The Suburbs) and Tim Kingsbury (Arcade Fire).

Tall Tall Shadow follows Basia's 2007 debut album Oh, My Darling, hailed by eMusic as "an undeniably infectious romp," and 2010's Heart of My Own, which Tiny Mix Tapes declared to be a "heart-wrenching tour de force." SPIN has praised the Juno-nominated singer's "bright harmonies and … resonant alto voice" and Mother Jones raves, "this crafty Canadian folkie turns seemingly simple songs into engrossing accounts of desire and regret." Basia has toured in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia, sharing the stage with artists including The National, St Vincent, Beirut, Tuneyards, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird and Nick Cave. She has also collaborated with Owen Pallett, who created orchestral arrangements of a selection of Basia's songs that have been performed by the Halifax Symphony Orchestra, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.
