ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM // BURN THE PLAN
JUNE 15th 2015 + JUNE UK TOUR DATES

Canadian folk trio, Good Lovelies, are excited to announce their eagerly anticipated new album, ‘Burn The Plan’ on June 15, 2015, followed by a UK tour.

With Burn The Plan, Good Lovelies are both fulfilling and defy-ing their so-called musical destiny as a "folk trio." What makes this Burn The Plan special is that the band's considerable strengths - winsome songwriting, impeccable vocals, and trian-gulated charisma - don't tell the full story. There's a new spirit of adventurousness that gives Burn The Plan an extra spark; the album is permeated with textures and tones from musical worlds away.

The eye-opening "In The Morning" has a delicate electronic touch that is more Postal Service than McGarrigle. "Waiting For You," is an up-tempo, shimmering keyboard-laced number that would fit comfortably alongside the soft pop throwback of HAIM. Even the old time underpinnings of "Old Fashioned" and "The Doe" have a new polish, confidence and depth.

This time around, the trio has spent time developing, expanding and honing their sound as indi-vidual musicians first, and as Good Lovelies second. These new songs were crafted not to ‘fit' their catalogue per se, but as expressions of individual voices within a tight-knit group dynamic.

What keeps the three Lovelies making music together is not just their uncanny musical compatibility; it's their unshakeable friendships, which supports each member contributing to the songwriting in distinct ways.

2011's Juno-nominated Let The Rain Fall was the last time the Good Lovelies released a full-length studio album. It may not feel so long ago, since the band's profile has continued to grow with awards, steady and sold-out touring, and a live album in between, but you can do a whole lotta living, loving and letting go in four years. For Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore, four years has been the exact number of hours, moments and experiences needed to take the next step, to burn the plan.

Previous releases including their acclaimed holiday album, Under the Mistletoe (2009), which showcased old and new seasonal tunes (including three original songs), and the Good Lovelies’ self-titled full-length album (also released in 2009) proved their blithe brand of folk music has year-round appeal. With this record, the Good Lovelies won New Emerging Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. In 2010, this same album received a Juno for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year.
