Christa Couture – Sad Story Over
Christa Couture is a alternative folk artist from Vancouver BC. Influenced by the likes of Ani DiFranco, Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve only heard material from the latter and I think the comparison holds well.
Her album “The Wedding Singer and The Undertaker” (see picture) was released on May 20th and I’ve attempted to listen to her album quite a number of times.
While the rest of the album isn’t bad…I couldn’t get myself to either A) Like it B) Listen to it enough to compile a worthwhile review.
So I’ll just concentrate on the first single which is an awesome song. I’m not one for transcribing lyrics -it’s tedious without a media kit but there is a vast amount of instruments playing in this song that make this track such a catchy tune. Almost like a one hit wonder for my computer but it’s an excellent track that can win you over and it’s expectations were quite lofty after hearing this song. Different instruments almost make this like a pop song or Arcade Fire-esque. It’s really the highlight of the album and I’d reconsider the placement as the 1st track…
Check it out.
