Canadian songstress Basia Bulat has a similar uncanny ability as Feist, as in, the ability to write blithe, buoyant melodies that covertly harvest sentiments of melancholia and inner turmoil. Bulat sets herself apart however with her penchant for mastering unorthodox string instruments like autoharp and charango.

To record her fourth LP Good Advice, Bulat ventured outside her homebase of Montreal for the first time, teaming up with producer and My Morning Jacket-front man Jim James at a Louisville studio. Despite being described as a break-up album, Good Advice doesn’t by any means suffer from the clichés of sounding downtrodden or monochrome.

The music is expressive, kaleidoscopic and multi-layered. It was Bulat herself who came up with a pretty vivid allegory: the peaceful starlit sky that suddenly becomes emblazoned with intense fireworks. If that doesn’t at least spark your curiosity, we don’t know what else possibly could. Moreover, being present at Bulat’s show tonight is the only good advice we can give ya!
