Basia Bulat is a singer-songwriter who hails from London, Ontario. Her
debut album Oh, My Darling was produced by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed
You! Black Emperor, The Arcade Fire), and released on Rough Trade in
2007. The song "Little Waltz" from the album was used in a 2007
Australian Volkswagen Eos advertisement and drew some attention to her
work. The new album Hear Of My Own sees Howard Bilerman again at the
desk. The instrumentation on the album is a lot more varied than Oh, My
Darling. Basia claims "I think it is at times extremely sparse and
spacious, with big choirs singing, and then it gets really dense with
really spirited and rolling drums, and I think I even managed to pull
off a Johnny Cash-inspired country song." She plays autoharp, guitar,
piano, organ, pianoette, banjo, ukulele, bass and of course, sings.

Limited deluxe CD/DVD edition including a bonus DVD containing a video
for every song on the album, each by a different director.. 2010 album
from the Baltimore duo. Recorded in upstate New York, in a converted
church called Dreamland with producer/engineer Chris Coady (who has
worked with TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Blonde Redhead), Teen
Dream is their third album and their Sub Pop debut. Teen Dream gives
voice to a full universe of unbridled imagination, and the
manifestation of the album has been a welcomed and all-consuming
obsession for Beach House the past nine to 12 months.
