Melancholia (Indie)

Instead of a scalpel, Janine Stoll dissects the heavy human heart with a sharp wit. The Toronto folk-pop artist uses Melancholia’s nine songs to poke through the ashes of dead or dying relationships, but rather than romanticizing the failures, she examines them with both anger and sympathy. Beautiful songs, tough listening.

Top tracks: ‘Means To My End’, ‘Midnight Men’, ‘Moncton Hotel Room’
