Dovetailing with their previous release, The Gertrudes’ third album
Till The Morning Shows Her Face To Me pursues the sparks and spaces suspended in the wake of their explosive 2010 LP Dawn Time Riot. If that one burned like a rapturous party, Till The Morning Shows Her Face to Me sobers up with sonic experimentation and quiet reflection amidst some razor sharp rock.
Tracks like the meditative Yellow Yard, the winter-grey solitude of Dreams and the soulful Carolina evoke quieter sensibilities, while Derby Girl is the out of control eruption of a lover scorned by a fishnet-stockinged fearless femme on roller skates.
My favourite folkestra – The Gertrudes
Charles Spearin (Broken Social Scene)
The Gertrudes are a tidal wave of great vibes, a super soulful celebration, a Canadian gem! Their new disc Till The Morning Shows Her Face To Me picks up where Dawn Time Riot left off and blasts off into the stratosphere. Don’t get left at the side of the road on this one. Get on for the ride. The Gertrudes will blow your mind.
Dave Clark (Rheostatics, Woodshed Orchestra)
