Basia Bulat hails from ‘the forest city’ of London, Ontario, where she found her songs and stories dangling from the trees. She managed to coax them down to the ground with sweet ragtime piano melodies, tender-hearted string arrangements, and a voice that has been compared to Elyse Weinberg and Leslie Feist.
Together with her backing band, Basia has been bringing her unique blend of folk and chamber pop to audiences across Canada for over two years. Her debut album ‘Oh, My Darling’ was recorded by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor,
The Arcade Fire, upcoming British Sea Power) at Montreal’s Hotel 2 Tango studio and will be released April 2007 in Europe and the UK on Rough Trade Records. If the warm critical praise of her live performances are any indication, ‘Oh, my Darling’ will float out onto the musical landscape as breezily as she sings, and will charm you into swaying along with her too. Together with her backing band, Basia has begun bringing her unique blend of folk and chamber pop to audiences across Canada and she’ll be coming over to play her first shows in the UK in May.
