managing to simultaneously sound fragile yet strong.”
– Exclaim! Magazine
“Catherine
MacLellan’s Silhouette is very much a rewarding listen.”
– Cadence Magazine
Silhouette is

►Mark
Reeves
Manitoba, Canada
 |
Like some kind
of caffeinated single malt whiskey,
Mark Reeves’ acoustic roots-rock goes down smooth and easy, but packs a
powerful kick that can’t help but move you. From the infectious, jangly
roots-pop anthem The Way to the playful lascivious title track, Mark’s album,
Sure is a
Pretty Name
(2004) is a top-down, full throttle romp through twelve songs of hope,
heartache, and gutsy good humour. His third solo record, this clearly his most
mature, and none have come close to capturing the frenetic, vivacious rapture of
a live Mark Reeves performance the way his new studio album does. |

Teitur
Lassen is a singer/songwriter from the Faroe Islands who resides in the U.K.
Teitur (pronounced "tie-tor") originally left the Faroe Islands for Copenhagen
when he was 17 after fronting a pop/rock band. He set upon writing
music full-time
and eventually caught the attention of former BMI executive Christian
Ulf-Hansen, who became his manager. Universal released his first album, Poetry &
Aeroplanes, in 2003, while Teitur found himself opening for Suzanne Vega, Glen
Phillips, Aimee Mann, and John Mayer as well as playing over 300 shows through
the following year. "his
graceful melancholia has a careworn heart, burdened by a lonesome youth spent
conjuring the stories he tells on little known but wildly acclaimed albums"
