City and colour

Dallas Green is City and Colour, and City and Colour is good. Bring Me Your Love is Green's second studio release under his side-project moniker (Dallas = City, & Green = Colour - get it?), and the stirring results couldn't be more different from the screamo sounds of his post-harcore band, Alexisonfire. Opting for sparse arrangements consisting of little more than an acoustic guitar, a harmonica, and the occasional hand clap recorded in equally stark and open spaces, Bring Me Your Love oozes warmth and sincerity. A glum affair, sure, but also a genuinely intimate one, and my favorite album of 2008 so far. Watch the video for first single "Waiting" below:
