Today Toronto musician Dorothea Paas dropped the long awaited debut album Anything Can’t Happen via Telephone Explosion Records.
A wonderful mix of singer-songwrite alternative folk pop music.
Similar to Basia Bulat and The Weather Station.
About the album:
Anything Can’t Happen arrives from Doro’s own push/pull relationship with the church, Paas initially felt uncomfortable about religion’s utilising of music to control people and their emotions – now, however, Paas wants to tap into that idea, questioning the power and ability that music has to cause transcendence.
I find her way with lyrics to be pretty compelling, offering these fairy straightforward observations but embedding them with this universal wisdom which to me feels quite a feat given it’s only her debut record – there’s a lot more depth to this than a debut would necessarily suggest.
Anything Can’t Happen gets:
/10.
