Details:
With her 3rd album "Quarters", Shannon Weir & her Even Strangers collaboration are wide awake and smiling. Lead keyboardist, singer and songwriter Shannon Weir attributes this transformation to the fact that this raw, quirky, and sometimes melancholy album conjures up some of life's darker moments, yet somehow manages to radiate a strange and familiar understanding.

With the Even Strangers behind her, Weir creates a melodic strand of piano-driven rock, tempered by glossy guitars and viscous vocals. Together they bring a warm, driving rhythm section to the album's core, blending effortlessly with Weir's organic piano melodies and hauntingly honest vocals.

Born and raised in Oshawa, Weir herself is definitely not new to this game (she has already unleashed two solo albums: Ghost of My Past (1999) and 2001's Nature About You), and her mysterious and gently complex arrangements have held true. But with her Even Strangers collective, Weir has been able to seamlessly stitch together a wider range of musical possibilities making Quarters the collective result of a band that make music that just naturally falls into place.
