Newfoundland’s most popular and successful band over the past five years release their major label debut.
The Once let their collective talent shine and expand by preserving their rootsiness (My God, those voices!) and layering the tracks with violin, contrabass, horns, and drums.
Some standout tracks include #1, 2, 4, 6, 5, 9 and a jaw-dropping acapella reading of the Ron Hynes classic “Sonny’s Dream”.
The four year wait is over. Indulge yourself.
Produced by The Once and John Critchley (A.Curran/Spectators)

Ilia’s songs are delicious melodic vignettes, compelling, ethereal and draped in a late 60’s brit-pop cinematic atmosphere, her prosey lyrics are both poignant and ponderous. But there are humorous splashes aplenty as Ilia navigates from innocence to astute observation in her debut. Part Jane Siberry, Part Petula Clark, part Sarah Harmer. A joyful listen.
Come down to Fred’s Records on Saturday July 26 at 2pm to get your copy of Ilia’s debut album, as well as the opportunity to experience her perform live, for free here in the store!
