88Nine Halloween Bash at Turner Hall Ballroom
Bodies of water are a continuous theme in the music of Ontario’s Great Lake Swimmers, from the five-piece’s name to the title of its most recent release, this year’s Lost Channels, which references a passage of the St. Lawrence River nearby where the group recorded the record. The band’s music is fluid, too, blending the jangly folk-pop of Fleet Foxes with the hushed intimacy of Iron & Wine. There’s a distinct backwoods sound, as on 2007’s Ongiara, which deals in subtle and eerily contemplative moods while somehow remaining catchy. With Lost Channels—the band’s fourth studio disc—Great Lake Swimmers adheres to its already successful formula of lilting compositions that are deceptively simple yet emotionally evocative. Here the band performs as part Radio Milwaukee's Halloween show, which also features a bevy of local talent.
