WOKE MYSELF UP

Julie Doiron's first solo record in nearly three years, WOKE MYSELF UP is an unofficial reunion of her 1990s dream pop band Eric's Trip, with all the members of that long-since defunct band regrouping to back Doiron's delicate and warm-hearted tunes. Doiron has grown into a compelling indie-folk songwriter, with haunting minor-key tunes that mesh perfectly with the confessional, poetic lyrics of songs like the yearning title track. Although this is a gentle album on the surface, the chaotic emotions of Doiron's compelling songs are soon enough revealed.
