- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Prior to Loneliest in the Morning, Julie Doiron was part of the influential
Canadian band Eric's Trip. In the later days and eventually at the end of the
band, Doiron released a 7" and a full-length record of material on her own
label, Sappy Records, under the name Broken Girl. Loneliest in the Morning is
the first solo release from Sub Pop by Doiron under her own name. The first
aspect of Loneliest in the Morning that strikes the listener is the minimal
nature of the musical elements. The guitar provides the subtle rhythm, while
Doiron's voice is captivating and enchanting. A melancholy undertone exists
in the direct nature of the vocals, perhaps in a style of Aimee Mann, or the
depth of Catpower with straight-ahead lyrics. "Tell You Again" is a sweet
lullaby, where bass and piano creep in, gently adding their touch to the
soundscape. All of the songs are very personal and revealing; Doiron is
almost a confessional poet of music. "Le Soleil" is the beautiful closer. The
vocals carry the melody while the guitar opens the song up wide. The
production is of great quality, giving the listener a sense that Doiron is
actually playing in the room. Photos by Doiron and paintings by her husband,
Jon Claytor, add a wonderful packaging element to round off a great record.
[In 2008, Jagjaguwar re-issued the album and added three bonus tracks.]
