Of Honey & Country
“Hands-down one of our new wintry pop favorites.” — SEATTLE WEEKLY
Night Canopy is the desolate, radiant concoction of Amy Blaschke and Pretty Girls Make Graves drummer Nick DeWitt. Live, they also add Jenny Jiménez, formerly of The Catch. The group’s songs are dusky and swell in a lucid dreaming way, holding you with Patsy Cline’s quaint isolation. Also present are remnants of Cat Power and Azure Ray’s stylistic tics. Live, Blaschke’s vocals cut with a songbird’s clarity as her partner DeWitt alternates between almost all the instruments onstage. In “Seasick Casanova” Blaschke sings, “Meet me on the bottom so we won’t have to spot `em, those lonely ships that sail on through the night.” It’s a gravel road, Night Canopy’s tremolo is an ocean, and the moon is so bright you don’t need headlights.
