Throughout the The Bearer of Bad News, Andy Shauf spins tales as a few others can in which accidental, redemptive victories (“Hometown Hero”) stir alongside evocative, heartrending tales of self-doubt and lost loves (“I’m Not Falling Asleep”). The Saskatchewan native’s tender, singular tenor guides the way over muted instrumentation of softly-strummed guitars, dampened drums, weathered piano, and clarinet. Meticulously written over four years and recorded over one in a makeshift basement studio, Shauf, whose vocal delivery at times reminds of Elliott Smith or Paul Simon, plays nearly every instrument on the album.
