2010?s Heart of My Own saw Basia Bulat expand her sound world from the confines of folk and folk instruments to choirs and strings while maintaining a folk sensibility in the album as a whole. According to Bulat herself, Tall Tall Shadow finds her further "exploring the boundaries of folk music some people know me for"...

Basia Bulat has the kind of voice that works its way through your ears to take up residence somewhere in your heart. Aside from the fundamental beauty of her vocals, the raw emotion in every note creates a sense of intimacy - a quality that strongly informs her third full-length. Recorded with Arcade Fire's Tim Kingsbury and producer Mark Lawson (The Suburbs) after the death of a close friend, the album's 10 tracks strip away some of the embellishments of her previous work in sparser...

Basia Bulat's debut album in 2007, Oh My Darling, was a bit of an undiscovered gem. Low-key without being lo-fi, it was full of intimate love songs that were beautifully crafted but with an unconventional edge.
2010?s Heart Of My Own tried to repeat the trick, but the songs were lacking that time round. Three years later, she's back again but with her finest album...

Plenty of attention is paid to the distinct, honeyed vibrato of Toronto, ON-raised folk artist Basia Bulat, and with good reason. Since the release of her debut LP, in 2007, Bulat's voice has emerged above an eclectic mix of sounds, from handclaps to organ sighs, auto-harp trills and percussive swells...

This is a sweet and gentle piece of folk/pop telling tales of Ms Basiat's home in Ontario and speaking well of the quality of international folk music as it goes. Her voice is lithe and light with a touch of Canadian nasality that just makes you want to listen further and the confidence she imbues her songs with suggest that she is less naive than the voice may imply...

Consensus seems to be that Basia Bulat has produced a winner with her second album "Heart Of My Own." Certainly the stateside press are talking that way, she is the darling du jour with the east coast bloggers of influence. Basia seems reluctant to disagree, saying bashfully "two albums does not a career make" - which seems to acknowledge something. I've no huge argument with that, except that after repeated repeated listens, it's just not, ya know, moving me that much...
