Great Canopy - Fossils

Great Canopy is a six piece band hailing from Pleasantville, NY. They released their debut LP Fossils last May on bandcamp, tagging their album and songs with the tongue-in-cheek moniker of “sad surf”. The sounds of “Ten” are sprawling and intense, jangly guitar punching with flourish and prog-like sensibility. The vocals mirror the instruments, pregnant with energetic punch and rawness. Each howling line is delivered with ample instrumentation behind it, giving the track a feeling of largeness in scale. Synthesizers, clashing drums, and ambient sounds give the song a tangible body, which waxes and wanes with the emotions – there are many – of the soundscape. On “Ten”, vocalist Thom Lombardi has a singing voice not dissimilar to Aaron Maine of Porches – warbling and almost-but-not-quite off-key. The lyrics are intimate, but delivered with as much power as the instruments backing them.
