: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Written in between bar shifts and soundchecks and recorded in a :,
: garage behind a Chinese restaurant in downtown Toronto, produced :
:' by Matthew Bailey, engineered by Chris Stringer (Timber ':
,: Timbre), mixed by D James Goodwin (Kevin Morby, Craig Finn) and :,
: mastered by Philip Bova Shaw (Feist, Andy Shauf), This City is :
:' the result of the kind of heartbreaking, and redemptive work ':
,: that compels us to be better. :,
: :
:' Sameer Cash was raised on a diet of Rock & Roll records and ':
,: Hindu fairy tales. His father, born to a large Catholic family :,
: in Scarborough, Ontario, left the suburbs to follow the :
:' ungovernable religion of 1980Æs post-punk. CashÆs mother, born ':
,: among the mango trees of Kenya, by way of India, clung to her :,
: own upbringing through childhood memories and her motherÆs :
:' cooking, seeking comfort and closure through many Canadian ':
,: Prairie winters. Cash was born into an amalgamation of :,
: communities, converging at the point of least resistance: music :
:' (his father wrote and toured the world in various bands from ':
,: the 1980Æs to 2010Æs, and his mother became a music manager, now :,
: in the industry for the past 30 years). :
:' ':
,: These threads of identity are embedded in the delicate and :,
: powerful 9 songs that make up the debut album from Sameer Cash. :
:' This City is an album about family and place, about friendships ':
,: and how they get frayed. æWhen it gets too much, stay in touch :,
: with your mother and your high school band,Æ he sings near the :
:' end of the album. ':
,: :,
: There are intimate moments of quiet fortitude (ôDriveway :
:' Momentö, ôEasilyö), rollicking blasts of glory (ôStay In ':
,: Touchö, ôParalyzedö), and honest narratives on life and work in :,
: the city û a genre Cash has christened ôgentrification balladsö :
:' (ôThis Cityö, ô$3000ö). This City is an ambitiously understated ':
,: album thatÆll soak you in melancholy and leave you out to dry in :,
: the sun. :
:' ':
,: While surely a forerunner for one of 2020Æs most exciting :,
: releases, Sameer CashÆs This City is a journey youÆve been :
:' telling yourself you need to make but just havenÆt gotten ':
,: around to. Now you Can. DonÆt worry though, Cash has done all :,
: the heavy lifting. All you have to do is push play. :
