Andy Shauf – Norm (CD)

Canadian singer-songwriter Andy Shauf is known for creating rich, self-contained worlds within his music, from his 2016 breakthrough The Party to 2020s The Neon Skyline, which both feature a cast of recurring characters and unfold over the course of one night.

In a press release describing his latest project, Norm, Shauf insists he sought out to make a normal album, steering clear of the high concepts that defined his previous work.

Upon first listen, Norm is a gorgeously produced collection of short folk-fiction. When given closer attention, the album unfurls into an anthology of dark, interconnected tales of loss, unrequited love and casual brushes with the divine.
