This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
When Julie Doiron admits, “All that I can think about are fall days,” it’s not exactly a shocking revelation.
Like much of her previous work, this third solo album from the former Eric’s Trip bassist is a stroll through an autumn landscape of guitar lines that flutter like blowing leaves and breezy, dusky vocals that seem warm but can chill you to the bone. Still, it’s not nearly as sombre as this spring’s heartbroken EP Will You Still Love Me. Amid the slo-mo balladry are the occasional upbeat indie-rockers, thanks to The Wooden Stars, the first band Doiron has recorded with since Eric’s Trip. It seems to agree with her, putting — dare I say it? — a spring in her step.
