Following the 2005 release of Macleod's impressive collaborative folk-rock brainchild, Timber (The New Gentlemen's Shuffle), Strange Biology doesn't fall far from the tree. Its live, scaled-down sound and heartfelt tones reveal new exciting layers to one of Montreal's most talented lyricists and musicians.
With help from the extended Ships at Night posse, this pared-down solo effort touches on a wistful, at times defeatist, view of the human condition - the type of stuff that guys nearing the ass end of their 20s think about. It's the arrangement and execution of this guitar wonderful album that most impresses.
