Details:
Supposedly named after one of Jupiter’s orbiting moons and from what is known, recorded under a variety of conditions and settings - ‘io’ continues September’s innovative artistic explorations, incorporating such atmospheric and textual elements such as short-wave radio, pantomime, voice characterization and spatial loops.
"Songwriter/vocalist Douglas September sings in kind of a conspiratorial whisper, bringing to mind folks like up-and-comer Matthew Ryan and cult-fave Peter Himmelman; the bluesy, raspy "Message In The Wine" even sounds like the solo work of fellow Canadian Robbie Robertson. The thing is, despite the new-agey implications of the record''s title, a lot of September''s writing is worth shouting about.."
