Her latest solo album is a strong set of poetic indie pop and evocative indie rock that balances dreamy melodic vocals with poignant spoken word over an expansive range of backdrops, from the bass-led post-punk swagger of “85 Dollars An Acre” to the spritely jangle-pop touches of early single “Murder of Crows.” Her first album not written to compliment completed poetry, there’s a boundless painterly quality to ‘Live Like the Sky’ influenced by Simpson’s upbringing and “discovering alternative music, punk, new wave, and goth through the static and poor reception of the distant alternative station broadcasting from Toronto; this music offered an escape from the ubiquitous country music and hard rock, offered difference, offered possibility; offered an otherwise.”", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
