    <br /> More great music reviews &amp; torrents at www.btbeat.com<br /> <br /> -------------------------------<br /> <br /> Canadian singer-songwriter Basia Bulat came seemingly out of nowhere to become one of the most talked about new artists in both Canada and the United Kingdom with the release of her first full-length album, Oh, My Darling, in 2007. Originally from Toronto, Bulat lives and writes in the quieter community of London, Ontario, where she recorded a self-released EP in 2005. Bulat's rich, expressive voice is the ideal vehicle for her songs, which deal with love and life with a combination of sadness and wonder, and her melodies are bolstered by a band that incorporates strings and keyboards along with the traditional drums and guitar. In 2006, producer Howard Bilerman, best known for his work with the Arcade Fire, took Bulat and her band into the studio to record her first full-length album; the result, Oh, My Darling, caught the ear of the esteemed UK label Rough Trade, who signed Bulat and released the disc in the Spring of 2007 before she had a deal in Canada or the United States. British reviews for Oh, My Darling were wildly enthusiastic, and a tour of England and Europe impressed both critics and fans. Canadian independent label Hardwood Records (home to noted singer-songwriter Hayden) signed Bulat in the summer of 2007.<br /> <br /> - allmusicguide bio/no review<br /> <br /> ----------------------<br /> <br /> &quot;Blame Canada!&quot; was the battle cry from a humorous film almost a decade ago. How the tables have turned since, as the North American province seems to be leading the way at the minute with some of the most exciting new artists on the planet originating from its expansive shores.<br /> <br /> The latest of these, female singer/songwriter Basia Bulat, is a bit of an unknown quantity outside her homeland. With one self-released EP to her name, Bulat has spent the last couple of years carefully writing and orchestrating the songs that were to comprise Oh, My Darling, her first long-playing opus.<br /> <br /> All that was needed now was a worldwide distribution deal. Enter Rough Trade, and finally, the fruits of those last two years get to see the light of day.<br /> <br /> While it would be wrong to put too much emphasis on the production of this record, the fact that Funeral producer Howard Bilerman got his mitts on Oh, My Darling probably won't go amiss. Thankfully, though, this doesn't make the finished article sound like something that's emerged from a one-track production line.<br /> <br /> If anything, Bilerman should be praised for allowing Bulat and her varied levels of instrumentation to shine through in their own right, whether on the up-tempo staccato of 'Snakes And Ladders' or the maudlin sadness of the title track.<br /> <br /> Indeed, if it's comparisons you're looking for, then Nina Nastasia and Judie Tzuke probably fit the bill to a degree in that the former's previously grandiose arrangements seem to have influenced Bulat's own occasional forays into complex areas of the musical sphere, while the introspective nature of her lyrics almost mirrors the route favoured by the latter.<br /> <br /> Not that we're accusing Basia Bulat of plagiarism, you understand - every one has their own influences after all, and on Oh, My Darling Ms Bulat endearingly comes into her own, and quite spectacularly in places.<br /> <br /> An interesting debut then, and further proof that Canada's well of talent hasn't run dry just yet.<br /> <br /> --------------------------<br /> <br /> her songs are infused with sweet ragtime piano melodies, tender-hearted string arrangements, and a voice that has been compared to elyse weinberg and leslie feist. together with her backing band, basia has begun bringing her unique blend of folk and chamber pop to audiences across canada<br /> <br /> - roughtrade.com<br /> <br /> ----------------------<br /> <br /> This London, Ontario-based singer-songwriter is both a neo-madrigal folkie and a muted soul whisperer; at its best, her debut album for Rough Trade is an attractive admixture of aristocratic lilt and snapping rhythm. <br /> <br /> source: feedraider.com<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Artist: Basia Bulat<br /> Album: Oh My Darling<br /> Date Of Release: 2007<br /> Genre: AlternaPop, AlternaFolk, Singer Songwriter<br /> Bitrate: VBR --alt-preset extreme<br />
