Outside Music
Four out of five
A delightfully warm collection of folk songs perfect for an overcast winter day, Maria Dunn’s seventh album is outright springy at times, historically pertinent at others and calmly, sincerely emotional throughout. It releases into the world this Friday.
Besides that confident voice, what I’ve always loved about Dunn is her ability to take us to the realest, least fantastical places across time and space, and her look at humanity from both ends of mortality makes this album especially universal, despite its keen focus on a few Edmonton landmarks, both in event and on our skyline.
