Kathryn Calder Interviewed in VICE and Reviewed by Grayowl Point

Kathryn Calder recently sat down with Noisey to talk about her self-titled third solo album, which is embedded as a stream with the interview. According to Calder, “all of the things we deal with in life are sort of echoed in nature because we’re really an extension of our surroundings so I feel – at least for this record – I was more drawn to those types of themes and metaphors to describe my life.” Calder also talks extensively about the experience of losing her mother to ALS, a subject that is at the heart of her upcoming documentary A Matter of Time – An ALS Documentary.

Grayowl Point, a site that focuses on Canadian artists, recently gave Calder’s album a great review, awarding it a Strong Hoot and calling it “A collection of sometimes haunting, oftentimes just plain gorgeous songs… indicative of her maturation and progression as a songwriter.” The review doesn’t even mention Calder’s membership in The New Pornographers, demonstrating that she is truly capable of standing alone as an artist.
