The Wooden Sky with S/Gs: Lake of Stew & Evening Hymns

Jason Bajada

Reflective, hushed, conversational - these are not among the numerous outstanding qualities of Montreal's leading battalion of export artists. Perhaps it's time they should be. Bajada walks softly and carries a big sack of melodic jewels, delivering them in an endearingly introverted tenor despite a savant level of writing that would make less confident singers over-emote to draw attention to their talents. Introverted or not, there's no reason Bajada can't follow his townsfolk into the big leagues. Whispers this seductive can be louder than cannons. Jordan Zivitz, MONTREAL GAZETTE
