Leif Vollebekk: Inland

by Raeesa Farooqi – Lord Beaverbrook High School, Calgary AB Jul 26, 2010

4 stars

Leif Vollebekk’s Inland embraces listeners with warm whispers and love.

Montreal’s singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk brings us the charmingly delightful 10-track album, Inland. By incorporating the use of a vast array of instruments, such as the electric violin and the harmonica, Vollebekk’s music is successful in making us desperately long for something else to define our lives; something more beautiful and more liberated. With a distinct Bob Dylan-meets-Paolo Nutini style of guitar playing, Vollebekk never falls to the level of the countless desperate and heartbroken singers that can be overheard in Starbucks stores. Instead, he sings out his soul in a foot-tapping album that is best heard while strolling in the summer rain.

Raeesa’s fave track: You Couldn’t Lie to Me in Paris
