Catalog #:	LOCUST 106CD

...To Capture Your Beauty. "The sweetheart duo of Dan Bejar (Destroyer, Swan Lake, New Pornographers) & Sydney Vermont (visual artist, former Toronto Children's Choir kid singer) have tied the knot around an infectious readymade classic with their 14-track self-titled debut. The Portrait Is Finished folds the last few decades of pop music together, drawing on everything from an unabashed love of '80s AOR (Prefab Sprout & Kate Bush) to the cheery mysticism of young Scotland (Orange Juice & Felt) to prime Aquarian age femme folk of the '60s & '70s. The Portrait Is Finished was written and recorded over a period when Dan & Sydney took time out of regular life to hang out together, write and read and think about life differently... and be in Spain. From Málaga, Spain's balmy Mediterranean winter -- where the songs first started getting demoed -- to the rainy Vancouver climes where the album was recorded at Bejar fave JC/DC studios, the 14 songs -- all penned by Sydney (except Kevin Ayer's 'Hymn') and arranged by Dan, maintain the unencumbered, free and easy spirit in which they first took root resulting in a sparsely populated, timeless pop sound."
