Review:

Electronic art-pop meets avant-garde jazz in a remarkably ambitious sophomore effort from this young British Columbia artist. With an extraordinary vision and the talent to make it happen, Tara Kannangara reached out into the ether and brought something otherworldly into being. These are gorgeous, captivating soundscapes that’ll pull you into a realm of dreams and then send you rocketing upward with standout guitar, trumpet and vocal performances. It’s a shape-shifting, textural and unpredictable record that’s challenging in a way that keeps rewarding you for spending more and more time with it. You’re unlikely to find anything else that sounds quite like It’s Not Mine Anymore this year — or any other.
