ALLEGRA KRIEGER
Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine, Allegra Krieger's second full-length album with Double Double Whammy, is a collection of 12 songs that pick at the fragile membrane between life and death. The titular ‘infinity machine,’ as Krieger puts it, “is an accumulation of interlocking forces that propel humanity forward through a persistent passage of time.”
Krieger’s previous album, I Keep My Feet on the Fragile Plane, hewed more closely to the domestic spaces of city and mind. Rolling Stone regarded the album as “ten songs of heady philosophical meanderings packed with emotional dynamite,” and likened her “finely phrased lyrics” to those of “Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, [and] David Berman.” Krieger’s existential meditations remain on Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine, however her meandering melodies have taken on a stronger sense of direction. She narrates candidly and assertively; the full-band arrangements never overpower, only offer a robust platform on which Krieger’s voice reaches new heights. Krieger describes her newest work as “more outward looking, more questioning. These songs,” she says, “are obviously extremely personal. But they also sucked the whole world in.”
NEVE CARIAD
Neve Cariad captivates audiences with her powerful blend of honest lyricism and haunting melody, set over instrumentals that range from indie folk to art rock. Neve’s work is unique and unabashed, she offers you a piece of herself in every listen.
ADA LEA
Montreal, Quebec-based musician Alexandra Levy—who records and performs as Ada Lea—is also a painter and visual artist, and traces of her many creative abilities run throughout her debut album what we say in private, a beautifully colourful collection of profound pop songs released via Saddle Creek + Next Door Records.
