| Tear Away Tusa - Into The Digital Age |
Time to check in with the
Canadian scene again and see what they're producing these days. Tear Away Tusa
seem to peddle indie-soul-jazz-pop with neo-classical vocals and a subtle horn
section....just for kicks. Erin Tusa (now the band name makes sense) is the
charismatic front-lady of the band with an impressive pair of pipes (easy now)
and it's her voice that really sticks out on opening track 'Go And Take' as
well as the laid back, Amy Winehouse-esque melodies. 'We Fall' has a more
smoky, lounge bar atmosphere about it along the lines of Gabriella Cilmi but
with a little more ingenuity and spark about it. Title track, 'Music in the
Digital Age', has some gorgeous bluesy guitar work and a bass line so thick you
shelter under it during a particularly heavy downpour. Tusa's voice shows more
range in this final song of the three, using the quiet tones as well as the
impressive power she possesses. I feel that in certain areas of the world and
in a certain type of venue, Tear Away Tusa would go down extremely well as long
as the audience appreciates technical musical ability. There's no denying the
talent these guys have in performing but I'm not overly convinced that these
songs are going to turn huge numbers of heads.
