Movement In Stillness

I was at The Tranzac for a mid-week album release. Opener Alyson McNamara did a soft folk set with some interesting picking and chords. She mostly presented new material rom her upcoming sophomore album.

Then headliner Emilie Mover did a wonderful set where she played her new album Night Owl straight through. She joked that those of us in attendance now know how the album should be played. Because of a misprinting, the vinyl has no side A or B indication. A nice bonus, although you can also go on, for example, Spotify to see the correct track listing. For the encore, she played an unreleased song about New York, a tune Mover wrote after Night Owl to prove that she can still write.

Mover gave the best merch pitch ever. If you buy her album, you get to pet her dog Stevie Wonder. I didn't need that incentive to support this great artist, but I surely took advantage of the offer for some doggie scritches.
