Paul Simon’s Graceland is one of my favourite albums, and the “losing love is a like a window in your heart” part of the title track is one of the greatest musical moments ever. My love for Graceland is why I get a kick out of Danny Michel’s recent LP, Sunset Sea, which also mixes folk with sunny, Afro-inflected pop.
Here’s “Who’s Gonna Miss You?,” a peppy, horn-laden tune that I half expect to break into “I Know What I Know” whenever I listen to it. The urgent, propulsive bounce of the verses eventually gives way to a breezily danceable bridge at the 2:27 mark.
I reviewed Danny Michel’s show for Exclaim! the last time he came to town.
