Frida's Brow
Frida's Brow
Independent
Each of the three women in Frida's Brow - Chris MacLean, Alise Marlane and Jennifer Noxon - is a good solo singer-songwriter. But, in coming together as Frida's Brow, the Ottawa-area trio has achieved something very special with their gorgeous harmonies and subtly creative arrangements that incorporate elements of swing, bluegrass and traditional Québécois music into their contemporary folk base. All three contribute some fine originals including Noxon's Sleep On, a haunting historical ballad set in the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, MacLean's Spring, which celebrates the end of winter, and Marlane's title track, a tribute to the natural uni-brow beauty of artist Frida Kahlo. They also include several covers including sublime versions of Gordon Lightfoot's classic The Way I Feel and Charlie Sohmer's Marie-Anne Lagimodière. ****
