About
Julie Doiron makes quiet music. Once a member of the Canadian indie rock band Eric’s Trip, Doiron invites her old bandmates to join her here in limited capacity, filling the backing with just enough shuffle to move her thoughts to the next stage. “Don’t Wannabe/Liked By You” is perhaps the most unsettling moment where she admits, “I don’t want to be loved by you/ I never understood your scene” and “The Wrong Guy” hits a sudden burst of feedback in the midst of its gentle, spare confessional. But, in the end, Doiron is not someone who knows how to collaborate. Her music requires a small room and these moments where she expands her sound come across as gratuitous nods towards a sense that she should vary her approach. Her best, most affecting moments are the simple acoustics of “Me and My Friend,” the childlike, calm endeavor behind the slight rock lurch of “Yer Kids” and the old-time sense behind the folk ballad “Swan Pond.”
