Our Canadian-based reviewer David Morrison selects his Top 10 Folk & Roots albums of 2016 including David Francey, Jesse Thom, Aerialists, John K. Samson, Emily Millard and more.
Much of Jesse Thom’s album is straight from the Sufjan Stevens school of Arcadian acoustic charm. Stevens’ Seven Swans or Carrie & Lowell-style material represents the perfect touchstone for Thom’s gentle, melodious compositions, which in my book can never be a bad thing.
