OHBIJOU | BEACONS

LAST GANG

On their second release, Beacons, Toronto-based indie folk/pop seven-piece Ohbijou evolves their sound with an elegantly layered orchestral pop album centered upon the stunning, emotive vocals of Casey Mecija. Beacons expands upon Ohbijou’s debut LP Swift Feet for Troubling Times with more intricate compositions, stronger production and a tightly knit band. Unlike Swift Feet for Troubling Times, Beacons is more pop than folk and contains complex instrumentation utilizing everything from a glockenspiel to a trumpet. Beacons further establishes Ohbijou as one of Toronto’s premier indie music acts. – Written by JFelton
