Best of Q: Canadian folksinger Basia Bulat casts a tall tall shadow

Basia Bulat's latest album, Tall Tall Shadow, is a highly personal work born out of love and sadness.
It's been nearly three years since folksinger Basia Bulat's last album, Heart of My Own, but the lengthy wait has paid off. The Canadian folksinger's latest album, Tall Tall Shadow, is a highly personal work born out of love and sadness.

"You need darkness and light to have a shadow," she said of her soul-baring album.

In a conversation from the Best of Q, the gifted young artist tells Jian about her new record, which was produced with the support of Tim Kingsbury and Mark Lawson of Arcade Fire. 

Basia Bulat is set to play Toronto's Massey, alongside Destroyer, on July 10.
