Post Description

The ambitious new album from the Canadian songwriter features thoughtful and transformative interpretations of traditional music. It is both a meditation on the past and a novel step forward.

Gendron’s 2014 album based on Dorothy Parker poems, Not So Deep as a Well, is already the stuff of legend, a long-lost crackling classic recorded before our eyes. In between work and kids, the Montreal folk artist completed this bilingual double album with a band, based on traditional tunes from her home province, France and the U.S., with some originals sprinkled in (including a wordless tribute to late Sala Rossa bartender Richard Deschênes). 

Gendron handles her words and the words of others with great care, understanding the love, pain and death rooted in the canon. Coupled with her own lived-in vocals and guitar work, there’s deliberate, gentle force dedicated to every note. It’s music worth waiting for and spending time with.
