Originating from Canada, Great Lake Swimmers are great singers and songwriters. Their new album, A Forest of Arms, which includes some of their most dynamic tracks yet, explores ideas of natural beauty, environmental issues and personal ties through music.

Lead singer Tony Dekker also plays the harmonica, which paired with Erik Arnesenø’s banjo and harmonium and Miranda Mulholland’s violin gives the band a folksy feel.

Compared to Nick Drake and Neil Young, the BBC has rendered their music “gorgeous and rewarding”. (GB)
