Light and Matter [Magnetawan Riverbed Gold Vinyl LP]

Caroline Marie Brooks - Light and Matter [Magnetawan Riverbed Gold Vinyl LP]

On "Light and Matter," Caroline Marie Brooks finds herself in good company. The Ontario-based songwriter's second solo record spills over with visions of nature rendered in earthy folk-pop, locating wonder and comfort in the nourishing tendencies of the wider world's green and blue swaths of abundance while also coming to terms with the complexity of being in fellowship with other living things. Sweet, bright melodies wrap like vines around the connections in sisterhood, motherhood, friendship, and romance that she writes thoughtfully about, buoyed by intricate, percussive arrangements filled out by trusted musical good company—producer Josh Van Tassel and instrumentalist Dean Drouillard, with guests Christine Bougie and Colin Carbonera.

Caroline Marie Brooks is a founding member of acclaimed folk trio Good Lovelies, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band later this year. As a member of Good Lovelies, Caroline has won multiple JUNO and Canadian Folk Music Awards. She has toured Canada, the US, and the UK extensively.
