Uncertain Country is the latest album from Great Lake Swimmers. I've been looking forward to it for a while since hearing the single, "When the Storm Has Passed", on the CBC a month ago.
I've enjoyed the Great Lake Swimmers ever since hearing there first album about twenty years ago. Sometime around 2010, I saw them perform at Harbourfront and was completely blown away by their performance. Their live sound reminded me of the classic Byrds, with chiming twelve-strings and a rock-solid bottom. Uncertain Country is very much in that vein with multiple guitars, a prominent rhythm section, all accented by keyboards and synths. I love it. Easily the best album of the year so far.
