DOUG PAISLEY

With the kind of understatement that's typical of the man, Doug Paisley describes his wondrous new album Strong Feelings as “just 10 new songs. It's a lot less simple and unadorned than other recordings I've made, but it's just as earnest and straightforward as what I've done before.”

This is all in keeping with the Toronto songwriter's low-key approach to his art, preferring to let his songs speak for themselves. A fact borne out by the nature of the effusive praise given to Paisley's last effort, 2010's Constant Companion. MOJO, who included it in their top ten albums of the year and extolled its “rare kind of purity”, declared that “an anti-star is born”. Rolling Stone called it a “nearly perfect singer-songwriter record”, while UNCUT singled it out as “sure-footed and ageless…uncluttered, sad and unerringly lovely.”

JOAN SHELLEY

Joan Shelley quickly follows her acclaimed 2014 album Electric Ursa with Over and Even, a quieter, more contemplative set recorded in her home state of Kentucky. Shelley has been praised by Rolling Stone, NPR and Pitchfork, and The New York Times recently wrote that “her music is folky and pastoral, with a sense of scale that makes her humble about her place in mankind and the universe, and her songs are serene but never complacent.” Over and Even is her third record.
