Abigail Lapell – Anniversary (AQUA BLUE VINYL) ((Vinyl)) – Default Title

Award-winning Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with “Anniversary”, an evocative collection of original love songs. Produced with Great Lake Swimmers Tony Dekker, the album was recorded at 200-year-old St Marks Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions spooky, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets. Lapells deft lyrics jostle with love song tropes, grappling with loves finitude and the irony of how codependency and longing are revered in popular music. A ghost story is woven through the album: waltzing in the dusty barroom country of Blue Blaze, buried in the superstitious lyrical streak of Rattlesnake and audible in a wheezing organ as it shuts down at the end of Footsteps. Still, “Anniversary” emerges as an earnest celebration of commitment. Earworms like Anniversary Song and Someone Like You showcase intricately layered harmonies, while closer Stars affirms that theres no place the speaker would rather be than with the one she loves. Dekker and Lapell assembled a stellar cast of musicians to support Lapells powerhouse vocals, piano, harmonica and signature fingerstyle guitar. The core band includes Dan Fortin on bass, Jake Oelrichs on drums, and Tania Gill on the churchs piano, harpsichord and organ. Rounding out the ensembles sensitive orchestral arrangements are Rebecca Hennessy (trumpet), Rachael Cardiello (viola), Michael Davidson (marimba and vibraphone) and Joe Lapinsky (pedal steel), who also engineered and mixed the record. Abigail Lapell has garnered three Canadian Folk Music Awards, hit number one on Canadian folk radio and reached a staggering 40 million + streams across digital services. She has toured widely across Canada and the U.S, and will be touring internationally (UK, EU, AUS and more) in 2024. “Anniversary” is out May 10, 2024 on Outside Music. A1. Anniversary Song A2.
