Joel Plaskett - Deny, Deny, Deny



Mr Plaskett was a new name to me until very recently, but he is one of my finds of the year so far. Hailing from the wilds of Eastern Canada, he is well known in his homeland, but that fame has not yet pierced the outside world. On the basis of his recent album 'Three' that could be about to change. It's a fairly phenomenal record. It reminds me most of the Magnetic Fields "69 Love Songs". Both are triple albums but the real similarity is the wealth of different styles and the quality of songwriting on display. He is a fantastical lyricist and the whole album is infused with recurring themes and repeated phrases.
This track in particular is a favourite and display the full scope of the mans talent.
