Some Kind of Way

Description

Some Kind Of Way is the third full-length album from beloved Toronto band Bart, following up their critically acclaimed sophomore release, Today, Tomorrow, & The Next Day. Looking to shed the lengthy and meticulous creative process of previous records, chief architects Christopher Shannon and Nathan Vanderwielen assembled a core of players to form a new iteration of Bart, inviting multi-instrumentalists Harrison Forman (Hieronymus Harry, Dr. Joy), Patrick Lefler (ROY, Possum), and drummer Micael Brushey to help capture the spontaneous full-band performances that make up the entire album. This core was then augmented by a cast of collaborators, old and new, drawn from Toronto’s deep musical well. Familiar voices return, including Joseph Shabason (tenor saxophone), Jason Bhattacharya (percussion), alongside new faces to the Bart-universe: Carl Didur (piano/synth), Patrick Smith (soprano saxophone, flute), Ewen Farncombe (trumpet), Eliza Niemi (cello), and Rachel Cardiello (viola). Together, they create Bart’s most eclectic and immediate album to date.
