Kelly and I went to see the Great Lake Swimmers--with whom, they just finished their first "national tour"--at the FirstOntario Center for the Performing Arts. Of course, we've seen them before and they're great but, honestly, we went to see the opener, Minuscule.
This is their debut album.
Laurel Minnes is a Niagara-based performer and songwriter offering fresh choral arrangements and a new force for feminist pop, the culmination of many years of musical exploration and backed by a supporting band, creating a powerful new form of pop music.
Harnessing the power of an all-female choir and an eclectic backing band, her project Minuscule released their debut album Great in February 2020. The title track secured Minnes' recognition as Songwriter of the Year at the Niagara Music Awards and was featured on CBC's Q. Minnes has collaborated with genre-spanning Juno- and Polaris-nominated artists, from wistful indie-folk group Great Lakes Swimmers to epic heavy-metal duo Vile Creature – the latter for which she received a Juno nod for her choral arrangements.
And they're pretty awesome to boot.
