 Great Lake Swimmers"The eponymous debut CD by Great Lake Swimmers, recorded in a silo on an abandoned farm near Port Colborne, is an early candidate for the year's most subtly intoxicating album.Largely the work of one man, Toronto-based singer/songwriter Tony Dekker, the music relies on a delicate combination of voice and acoustic guitar -- lightly coloured by piano, accordion, lap steel and a low, choral hum of crickets -- to create an incomparably intimate relationship between music and listener. 'I Will Never See The Sun' augmented by a nearly inaudible sample of a TTC public address announcement, finds a tuneful refrain in the couplet, 'I will never see the sun/Spadina, St. George, Bay and Yonge' Gently persuasive from start to finish, the disc culminates beautifully with the final track's wistful allusion to swimming as a suspended state of mind and body." -Vit Wagner, The Toronto Star. Feb. 2003 |
