"haunting, skilfully crafted ... She’s a stand-out in the genre with her boundary-pushing guitar playing, emotionally-charged lyrics, and beautiful vocal melodies. Go see her." - SEE Magazine Local Bands to Watch 2009 "gorgeously melancholic and somewhat ephemeral, like a lover's last words hanging in the air." - VUE Weekly Bronze Leaf is born of the space between intimacy and distance. Her ghostly instrumental evocations shroud listeners in an unrepentant nostalgia, one that faces head-on our memories of fractured kinship and emotional epiphany. With a lyrical sensibility that favours showing over telling, she is well equipped to melt many an icy heart. Recorded in a basement in the world’s most northernly major city (Edmonton, Alberta), Bronze Leaf’s debut full-length album Bread Crumbs (Champion City Records) captures a rare, transient warmth. Bronze Leaf’s dialogue with memory and melancholy takes its elusive form in an ethereal space-time mapped by Champion City recording deity Eric Cheng (Spreepark, Portraits). Somewhere on the horizon between singer-songwriter and avant-folk, Bread Crumbs weaves paths of contradiction; haunted but hopeful, its strength is its subtlety. Armed with guitars, delay pedals, and looping mechanicals, Bronze Leaf, a.k.a. Amy Macdonald, arose in Edmonton in 2008 to join a new wave of psychedelic folk artists transcending Canada into the bewildering nether-zone of fringe success. Not one to specialize, in 2009 Amy began navigating the uncomfortable boundaries between Bronze Leaf’s earthy folk and her frenetic, screaming vocals in the mathy weird-core band Gyre, Spire & Spindle—all while holding down keyboard duties for post-rock screamo heavies Book of Caverns. She will be leaving Bread Crumbs in her stead from her home on the prairies to the wilds of the east coast in May 2010.
