Nathan Lawr & the Minotaurs - A Sea of Tiny Lights
Lawr has played drums in such revered bands as King Cobb Steelie, Fembots and Royal City. Along the way, he’s clearly picked up some singing and songwriting skills. His latest album is rich in laid-back, Neil Young-style vocals and tall, sometimes surprisingly sinister tales like “Righteous Heart” and “Footsteps,” which tell of fresh-water sharks and freakishly tortured prisoners. Guests include Royal City’s Jim Guthrie, Hylozoists’ vibraphonist Paul Aucoin and Lawr’s girlfriend, talented Sudbury singer Kate Maki.
