Scott Lanaway: Mergers & Acquisitions

by Stephanie Joseph – Holy Cross School Calgary AB Jul 30, 2010

3 stars

Mergers & Acquisitions is soothing background music.

Scott Lanaway’s sophomore album, Mergers & Acquisitions, is not quite as good as his 2006 debut album, Answering Machine Diaries. However, if you like the sad and drowning type of music, than this is the CD for you. The Torontonian’s electrofolk songs all come from the heart, reaching you in a way that you just can’t forget. It really is very distinctive music, with Scott’s use of acoustic instruments amidst an electronic background. While this is not the type of music I usually listen to, most of my friends loved the music and found it somewhat peaceful and soothing. Although I did enjoy a few of the tracks on Mergers & Acquisitions, I’m hoping that I’ll be more impressed by his next album.

Stephanie’s fave track: Juliet of the Spirits
