Provenance & Context

The Story of the Release

The Neon Skyline is a narrative concept album by Saskatchewan singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andy Shauf, shortlisted for the 2020 Polaris Music Prize. Set across a single evening at a neighborhood bar as the narrator learns his ex-partner has returned to town, the album was written, performed, arranged, and produced entirely by Shauf in Toronto, featuring intricate clarinet counterpoints and conversational folk-pop storytelling.

By Sam SodomskyFull article
Polaris Music Prize2020-06
"The Neon Skyline is a masterpiece of observational songwriting, arranged with precision and delicate chamber-folk elegance."
