The Morton Report

Western Canada-based Leaf Rapids features vocalist Keri Latimer, her bass-playing husband Devin, and producer Steve Dawson, who plays dobro and electric guitar. Their affecting, ethereal music blends elements of folk and country & western with a strong pop sensibility and conjures up artists as diverse as Twin Peaks vocalist Julee Cruise and early girl group the Murmaids (“Popsicles and Icicles”). This is ear candy from first track to last.
