EYEWEEKLY.COM, Forest City Lovers
WHO ARE THEY? Whitby native Kat Burns came up with the concept of Forest City Lovers back in 2005 when she found herself with a handful of airy art-folk songs that she was loath to release as a solo artist. Instead, she rifled through a posse of talented pals to help her flesh out the aching, string-laced compositions that wound up on 2006’s The Sun and the Wind before settling down with the current incarnation of Forest City Lovers, which features roommate Mika Posen on strings and backing vocals, bassist Kyle Donnelly and, following the departure of Paul Weadick, temporary percussionist Steve Lappano. Save Lappano, all these players — and about 13 guests, including members of Ohbijou and Snailhouse — show up on Forest City Lovers’ beautiful new Haunting Moon Sinking disc. Compared to its predecessor, it’s a warm, strikingly strong collection of tunes that range from glockenspiel- and synth-accented orchestral pop (“Sudden Seas”) to haunting cabaret-folk in pastel tones (“Pirates (All Can’t Sail the Indian Ocean)”) to gentle alt-country (“Charlottetown”).
