Minor Pieces - The Heavy Steps Of Dreaming (2019) Hi Res

The Heavy Steps Of Dreaming' is the brilliant debut album from Vancouver-based Minor Pieces, a new songwriting partnership comprising acclaimed singer/composer Ian William Craig and newcomer Missy Donaldson, a singer and multi-instrumentalist. Retaining some of the textural play and experimentation of Ian's solo material whilst channeling it squarely within the domain of tangible songwriting, the pair utilize guitar, modified tape decks, bass and synths to fashion deeply-felt songs with their beautifully matched male/ female vocals standing resolutely center-stage. Taking influence and inspiration from the likes of Low, Grouper, Mazy Star, Portishead, My Bloody Valentine, Talk and Cat Power, 'The Heavy Steps Of Dreaming' sounds at once familiar whilst forging something new, unique and beyond the sum of its influences.
