Great Bloomers

You Should Know


Combining rootsy instrumentation with Beach Boys-esque harmonies, Toronto quintet Great Bloomers follows up the success of their EP with their debut full-length Speak Of Trouble. With production help from fellow Canadian Gavin Gardiner, who also serves as frontman for The Wooden Sky, Great Bloomers cover the gamut from country-tinged to the doo-wop aesthetic of the album's title track. The young band manages to keep the listener guessing stylistically without ever sounding too indulgent. The Wooden Sky connection serves as a good touchstone in describing the band's sound. They manage to not only create music of substance but they succeed in actually making it sound fun. -- Capt. Obvious
