tin angel - the coventry based indie label is home to arguably the most eclectic roster on either side of the atlantic, and its earliest (and perhaps most popular) troop, virginia's devon sproule, is headed home to the motherland. 'i love you, go easy', the newest studio record from the 28-year-old, sent sproule back to her place of birth, ontario, canada where she teamed up with canadian producer sandro perri. sandro suggested the silt as a backing band. in addition to more traditional instruments, the silt - a trio known as one of the few toronto groups to successfully infuse the spirit of experimentalism into pop music - frequently incorporate trombone, bass clarinet, flute, and analog synth to give them their signature sound. the silt's sound suits sproule's new material remarkably well, as it does the well-chosen covers: 'body's in trouble' by toronto-native and cult heroine mary margaret o'hara, and the roches' 'runs in the family.' as usual, sproule's songs span the genre spectrum: 'now's the time' is a loose neil-youngish twanger made utterly original by the introduction of ryan driver's searing analog synth. 'if i can do this (i can do anything)' is the floating, flouting mantra of the record. doug tielli's staccato trumpet punctuates the jazz-influenced, call-and-response of 'monk / monkey.' and the title track, 'i love you, go easy,' (easily sproule's finest vocal performance of her career) takes a slow walk with some of the most thoughtful piano voicings in recent pop memory.
