Innes Wilson And His Opposition

Rating: NNNN


Innes Wilson and his Opposition won’t make enemies on their latest full-length. The friendly folk-rock trio’s well-rounded disc has just the right mix of fuzzy 90s grunge-light and East Coast acoustic authenticity (though they hail from Guelph).

[rssbreak]

On the grunge end, we get near-pop haze on To Hell With You and the bleak, buzzing Got A Gun, a basement rock lament about as dark as Innes Wilson, Adam Sturgeon and Blake Stevenson ever get.The band’s best when channelling its folk side, as on the harmony-filled title track or sequential closing tracks nine to 11, which peak in an earnest harmonica-accented duet with Meggi Faye.

Top track: So I Await

Innes Wilson and his Opposition play the Boat Tuesday (March 23).
