work update

The “Work” (formerly Film/Theatre) page received a minor update.

Meanwhile, expect my own review of Yonder’s Skywalk to Crescent Town soonish.

The Varsity’s take on Yonder

The Varsity, the student newspaper for the University of Toronto, recently rated Yonder’s debut album Skywalk to Crescent Town 4 “V’s” out of 5. A couple of quotes…

“The result is an extremely well-crafted album that combines elements of Wilco’s alt-country and Arcade Fire’s anthemic indie-rock into a memorable and unpredictable 55 minutes.”

And…

“Yonder’s songs also benefit from a slew of talented musicians but also from Bennett’s obvious attention to detail — there are no sloppy shortcuts here. Even the packaging is top notch.”

Don’t forget that if you’re in the GTA for Canadian Music Week, Yonder will be playing a set Thursday night at the Cadillac Lounge at 11 pm (show starts at 9 pm). See the sidebar for details.
