Just as there are albums that artists were born to make, there are albums that labels were born to release. Waiting for the Sunrise is one of those albums for both David Vandervelde and Secretly Canadian. Upon first laying the needle down, the listener is greeted by a warm wash of sounds that seems to breeze in from decades back. Vandervelde's singular voice emerges from the drums and keys with 'When the morning comes, I will be fine, I will be fine, I will be fine' and you're pretty damn sure he will be. The tones may be familiar, but his voice as an artist is his own, new and wholly contemporary, and you feel lucky to be here to watch the emergence. Waiting for the Sunrise is the beautiful result of having extended himself both musically and emotionally.
