Unique sonic textures, sultry, latin, old and new school grooves. St. Urbain is slick, tight pop-rock with a songwriter’s spirit. Making ample use of, but not being used by technology the songs themselves remain front and centre. life is too short to not want to hear something new.
With their debut release “Who’s Minding the Store?” St. Urbain asks just the right questions: Are you in control? Did we climb down from the trees just so we could escape reality? And what is with that girl? We invite you to escape into these eleven tunes that are never repetitious, and always tied together by fine musicianship and thoughtful wordplay. Like discovering new comfort food.
Please enjoy responsibly.
Sorry, no songs about booty (well, just one about vacation sex).
hi Wm and Brad! your cd has been on my player since I got it .... gotta say, it sounds great! I love your sound and the songs are solid. "all too human race" and "control" are really powerful... and I remember "i gotta know" from our olden days together!!
