Great Lake Swimmers

Wow! This is a great album, I just happened to discover it while browsing on Rhapsody yesterday. I can't believe I never heard of the Great Lake Swimmers before. This is their self-titled debut album. The Great Lake Swimmers are from Canada and are led by Tony Dekkar, who does the singing and songwriting. If you are a fan of acoustic Neil Young, then you will fall in love with this album. The album was recorded in an abandoned grain silo and has a lovely melancholy sound, plus lots of reverb. It is hard to pick a favorite track, as they are all very appealing. However, I would have to say the opening track "Moving Pictures Silent Film" and "Merge, Vessel, a Harbour" are two of my favorites. Click here to listen.
