A high point of every song is its lyrics: Garneau uses nothing short of poetry to go alongside songs like \u201cTelephone\u201d that seems to walk a fine line between cold reality and a serrated kind of hellish dream.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver\u2019s Dan Mangan comes to mind when I listen to this album; while it\u2019s a little more skin and bones than Garneau\u2019s last album, 2018\u2019s <em>Yours<\/em>, it\u2019s no less impactful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can make it better\/I need a little space to breathe,\u201d he sings in \u201cOld Code.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what this album gives: space to breathe. Backed up by well-timed percussion and unique, soft but sharp vocals that are compassionately raw and real, the album is a pleasure to listen to on a rainy day.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>CORRECTION: We initially incorrectly identified the record label for this release as Absolute Kosher records.
