Dubbed "ambient folk" or original Canadiana, the Great Lake Swimmers' swirl of acoustic guitars, banjo and brushed snare mixes atmospheric textures with skillful instrumental interplay. Songwriter Tony Dekker's songs are weightless and deceptively simple, capable of turning seemingly mundane observations into harrowingly mournful tales. Soft-sung and intense, he capture our ears by describing common feelings. Dekker makes feeling trapped in your own skin, the redemptive/ destructive power of love and dodging imaginary beasties into beautiful, spiritual, multi-layered creations.
