Evan J Cartwright - Winter Wind (by Alice Munro)

from Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada XIV by Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada

/

about

2022 was a busy year for Toronto’s Evan J Cartwright. The sometime US Girls and Weather Station collaborator joined forces with former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy to form Cola, whose debut album Deep in View is packed full of melodic, twisting post punk that strips everything back to its three core elements- and is deservedly being hailed as one of the albums of the year.

Not content with one critically acclaimed record, Cartwright then released his debut solo album ‘bit by bit’ through Idee Fixe records. Despite being a drummer, the album features very little drums, rather focussing on trumpet, field recordings, minimally plucked guitars and keyboards and Cartwright’s delicate soft tenor, dripping with Chet Baker like delivery. Contemplative, warming and delicate the record is truly a think of beauty, with the space left speaking as much as the notes played around it. Repetitions, loops and slight shifts are found throughout the record, and the theme continues with his contribution to this record, where he takes field recordings of skating, looping strings and layers over extracts from Alice Munro’s Winter Wind.
