Jeen (real name Jeen O'Brien) has been on a musical journey that has clearly informed her album "Tourist (Deluxe Edition)". While she spends a lot of her time collaborating providing vocals in Brendan Canning's (Broken Social Scene) other band Cookie Duster, she has developed a style uniquely her own. Packed with addicting melodies and vivid lyrics, the new album calls to mind the golden age of indie rock and MTV's 120 Minutes, where both fans of 4AD and Veruca Salt could come together to find some common ground. -- -- -- Recorded in Jeen's own attic just outside of Toronto, she ended up going DIY with her own lo fi home set up on the recording process when the attempts in finding a right match on the producer front grew tiresome. Friend Jared Kuemper assisted on the mix of the initial bunch of tracks, while Jeen's own lo-fi leaning aesthetic creeps into the tracks she had a hand in mixing herself. Between the airy stomp of "NY Island," the gritty pieces of "Buena Vista," and the epic choruses of "Higher and Higher," the scope of Tourist (Deluxe Edition) is far and wide. Jeen's husband Stephan Szczesniak plays all the drums on the album, while friends Brendan Canning, Griffin, and Great Big Sea as well as immediate family members (brother Ben O'Brien and father in law Tom Szczesniak) helped bridge the gap on some of the tracks.
Condition:NEW.
