“Ms. Bulat’s voice is rich and nuanced, and her songs are as sophisticated as they are charming.”—The New York Times
In advance of the release of her highly anticipated third album, Tall Tall Shadow , Paste premieres the live video for Basia Bulat’s track “It Can’t Be You” today. It can be viewed HERE.. Basia has also expanded her fall tour schedule, which now includes stops in Los Angeles, London, and Berlin, in addition to her previously announced headlining shows, and September support dates with Jim James. Secret City Records will release Tall Tall Shadow on September 30.
The “It Can’t Be You” live video was shot at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Basia’s hometown during a commissioned collaboration between Basia and visual artist Stephanie Comilang. Comilang’s contributions became the inspiration for Tall Tall Shadow’s artwork. Basia explains, “The images from the performance became an inspiration for the album artwork for this new record, and I’m so happy that we have a video to be able to share from it. During the show we played with the idea of what a stage should be and what people’s expectations of performance might be, especially within the context of an art gallery.” Tall Tall Shadow was co-produced with Tim Kingsbury of Arcade Fire and Mark Lawson, Grammy-winning engineer of Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs. The first single can be streamed HERE and is available for preorder HERE. The album is inspired in equal parts by tragic loss and abundant joy, which is reflected in more directly personal, emotional lyrics. It marks a sonic departure from her earlier work, moving away from her long-time practice of writing songs on the guitar or autoharp and instead primarily using piano and charango, an instrument which Basia has been unable to put down since receiving it from a friend.Basia chose to work with Lawson and Kingsbury knowing that they would not only challenge her but also push her music to new places. Several cuts on Tall Tall Shadow were recordedduring live, full band takes, an achievement she attributes to the creative environment nurtured by her two co-producers. The album also features the work of one of her favorite collaborators, her brother Bobby. The album follows Basia’s 2007 debut album Oh, My Darling and 2010’s Heart of My Own, of which NPR Music says Bulat’s voice is “a single powerful element.” SPIN praises 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 garnered great critical acclaim; Pitchfork praises her “rare, extraordinary voice,” and Filterdeclares “Bulat can pine with the best of them.” She has toured in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia sharing the stage with artists including St. Vincent, Tune-Yards, 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.
