Garage Band

Put another gold star on Calgary’s list of impressive singer-songwriters.

Reuben Bullock just released his second album Man Made Lakes, recorded in a garage studio with producer Lorrie Matheson. It’s packed with four-part harmonies that swell with emotion and arrangements that push the bounds of the indie folk label.

Bullock’s music is best heard live, but this album is about as a good an imitation of live performance as you are going to get in a digital download.

Cue it up and enjoy a concert for one. —Jaelyn Molyneux
