Cracking new LP by the influential 49-year-old Canadian indie singer-songwriter who has released multiple album under her own name, various other monikers, in French and Spanish, here with catchy, melancholy and moving songs. Among many collaborations she’s also released material as Julie and the Wrong Guys and Mount Eerie. Here, with elements of Neil Young to Jonathan Richman to the country tinge on How Can We? and pedal steel guitar on Darkness To Light, and she has been very much a standard bearer for singer-songwriters around the world, from her own country to America, the UK to Australis, influencing the likes of Courtney Barnett. Some numbers have been re-recorded from previous EPs, but the standouts here are very much the title track, You Gave Me The Key, the powerfully building Just When I Thought, the French language number Et Mon Amour, and the dark, broody, bluesy Ran. Out on You’ve Changed Records.
