 Canadian diversity at its best—guitarist Shaun Verreault is French-Canadian, bassist Earl Pereira is from a Filipino family and drummer Safwan Javed is of Pakistani descent—Wide Mouth Mason continues to defy expectations. On its fourth album, the prairie band comes up with surprising twists on its blues-rock sound. A tabla leads into the swinging “Reconsider,” while “Dry You Up” is raw, Weezer-like power pop. And “Lagavulin” is a hilarious stoner’s confession. No wonder they’re the pride of Saskatoon.
