Christine Fellows
Paper Anniversary
(Six Shooter)
On her third album, Winnepegian songwriter Christine Fellows elevates above her homespun surroundings.
No offense to Winnepeg or Manitoba, but neither has an atmosphere one calls “accomodating.” It’s cold, the people there failed to hang onto their hockey team, and when the sun goes down it’s even fucking colder. While Fellows reproduces chill on the “Road Trip” interlude, Paper Anniversary is mostly warmth, thanks to her fleece voice. Full without being husky, and feminine with a touch of girlieness, tracks like “Migrations,” “Souvenirs,” and “Phantom Pains” flirt, tussle, and toy their way across the tundra.

Appearing: September 16th at Empty Bottle in Chicago.
