"Shapeshifters is a brilliant album and, in a sense, the beginning of a new chapter in the musical life of the Good Lovelies.” ‐ Spill Magazine
“one of the finest blends the country has known” ‐ The Top 100 Canadian Singles
Juno Award winning Canadian trio, Good Lovelies return to the UK this Spring with the physical release of new album Shapeshifters impacting in the UK on April 5th (digitally available in the UK now) plus a string of tour dates.
Released in Canada early last year, the new studio album debuted as #1 on the Canadian Singer/Songwriter iTunes chart.
You hear it a lot these days – the idea that something is greater than the sum of its parts – and yet there’s really no better way to describe the musical essence of the Good Lovelies. Kerri Ough, Sue Passmore, and Caroline Brooks – immensely talented vocalists and songwriters in their own right; however, it’s their voices interwoven in harmony – powerful and pure, organic and inspiring – that elevates the Good Lovelies from impressive to peerless.
Over the course of their decade plus career, they’ve covered plenty of stylistic ground, adding tinges of pop, roots, jazz, and even hip-hop to their country folk core at various points. The trio first united in 2006 for a one-off performance and has since compiled a catalogue of four studio albums, a pair of EPs, a live album, and Christmas collection. Through it all, the unmistakable sound of their intertwined voices has been the sonic anchor, and that remains true as the Good Lovelies now push further into the mainstream with their most accessible and pop-influenced output to date, Shapeshifters.
Lead single from the new record, I See Gold, launched itself into the Canadian Singer/Songwriter charts with multiple plays and support from CBC Radio 2 and over 68,000 views on Youtube (second single Take Me Take Me subsequently reaching over 144,000 on Youtube). I See Gold opens the album with the Good Lovelies signature blend of beautiful harmonies, pop choruses and sweeping instrumentation. This newest collection offers a perfect balance between a more modern production style and the musical influences that have made them a household name over the years.
