Six Shooter's Month in Review: August & September 2024

NEW RELEASES

Peter Dreams “Come Save Me”

The excessive, unsubtle swagger of the “Come Save Me” tilt-a-whirl is a foil to a deeper, more delicate truth about overconfidence and the human condition: our self-doubt will be waiting for us at the end of the ride.

T. Thomason’s “True”

T. Thomason’s new album, Tenderness, opens with “True,” about the importance of trust when facing the unknown. In diaristic style, T. grapples with perception and expectation, both from the outside world and from within.

Whitehorse’s “Sweet Surrender”

In honour of Sarah McLachlan’s induction to the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (and because Whitehorse has been on tour with Sarah for the wildly successful Fumbling Toward Ecstasy 30th Anniversary tour for most of this year)), Whitehorse put their harmonies to “Sweet Surrender.”
