A few weeks back I spoke about Cold Specks, the project of Canadian singer, Al Spx and her upcoming album,
I Predict a Graceful Explosion. The new LP comes out this May 22nd via Mute Records/Arts & Crafts, and listening to the music of Cold Specks I can't help but think how aptly titled the new album truly is. Armed with a powerful and intimately soulful voice Spx's tunes have a beautiful slow building quality about them that just draws you in. She recently premiered the first single off the upcoming LP, a song titled, "Winter Solstice."
Here's a little blurb about the new track (
Via The Globe and Mail): The album’s first single,
Winter Solstice, is a graceful,
stirring sort of field holler, concerning mortality and the passing of
torches to a younger generation. Spx names Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Sam
Cooke as influences. “Doom soul is how describe my music to people,”
she says. “It seems to make sense to them.”
