Heather Findlay & Chris Johnson

acoustic /

'Without the power and energy of a full band, there’s nowhere for anyone to hide, and the whole thing stands on the quality of the songs and the performance. Heather has always been a class act as a vocalist, hitting that sweet spot balancing precision with emotional depth, whether it’s fronting the full-blown wall of sound of Mostly Autumn, or the more mellow and delicate acoustic vibes of Odin Dragonfly.

Chris Johnson also deserves a lot of credit for his guitar playing, adding far more richness and depth than you often get from a single acoustic guitar. It’s also interesting hearing Heather using wordless vocals to replace instrumental parts.

There’s certainly something of the chill-out vibe of Odin Dragonfly’s “Offerings” on display here. But there’s also a far greater emphasis here on Heather’s and Chris’ talents as songwriters, both with keen ears for very strong and memorable melodies.' - Where Worlds Collide.
