First Light is a compelling, cathartic listen, as Anderson's poetic lyrics and anthemic melodies make for an inspired t with producer Thomas Wincek. Drawing on his All Tiny Creatues project as well as his work with Justin Vernon's Volcano Choir, Wincek has created a huge sonic backdrop here. Anderson's expansive narratives and sing-along hooks weave through explosive rockers like Caps Ridge Line and Still Life, pastoral mood pieces like Looking Glass and Streetlamps , and haunting ballads like the pensive "Tower in the Fog and gorgeous closer Halloween. The whole thing feels a bit like indie-folk stadium rock, as if The Weakerthans were fronted by fellow Canadian Bryan Adams. As Anderson puts it, € What started as a text exchange between me and Tom about Joni Mitchell in the 80s turned into something strange and awesome. What's perhaps most awesome about the project is hearing a bedroom singer-songwriter pushing themselves in such a fun and unexpected way. First Light is a really special record.
