AA Soundsystem – Lily Plain…You’re Hardly Poor

The cover art says indie-electro and the band’s name suggests the same, but the sounds are as rootsy as the Saskatchewan farm house where it was recorded. This song cycle is inspired by and dedicated to songwriter Ayla Brook’s mom Lynda Bliss and it shuffles along through assorted prairie ambiences in a cinematic manner, alternately spaghetti western and country gothic.
