Orilla Opry
Label: Ships at NightGenre: Folk, Pop
Emma Baxter and Daniel Noble, recording as Orilla Opry for Montreal's Ships at Night Records, make an awesome noise. Folk-influenced, stripped-down pop, sometimes harmonized, sometimes dissonant, with hooks and crannies and texture and detail — if Orilla Opry was a house, it would have character and heavy duty curbside appeal. Try "Riverside 2," off their latest album Lighthouse for Stragglers' Eyes, for one of the prettiest, most ear-pleasing songs of the year (well, technically, from late last year).
