Description:
The Great Lake Swimmers album, entitled `Ongiara,` was recorded at the Aeolian Hall, the acoustic jewel in the heart of London, Ontario, and was engineered by Andy Magoffin. Fronted by singer-songwriter Tony Dekker, the album was made with core members Erik Arnesen and Colin Huebert, along with several special guests including Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco), Serena Ryder, and Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy). Great Lake Swimmers explores the worlds of indie folk, roots music and alt-country pop, with a focus on lyrics and the craft of songwriting. The records are permeated with the lush natural reverb of various acoustically unique locations, which create the backdrop for the melancholic songs. The atmospheric sound has been referred to as `ambient folk.` (Nettwerk Records)
