On Light and Matter, Caroline Marie Brooks (1/3rd of Canadian Folk Trio Good Lovelies), finds herself in good company. The Ontario-based songwriter's second solo record spills over with visions of nature rendered in earthy folk-pop, locating wonder and comfort in the nourishing tendencies of the wider world's green and blue swaths of abundance while also coming to terms with the complexity of being in fellowship with other living things. Sweet, bright melodies wrap like vines around the connections in sisterhood, motherhood, friendship, and the natural world that she writes thoughtfully about, buoyed by intricate, rhythm-forward arrangements filled out primarily via accomplished musical companions Joshua Van Tassel and Dean Drouillard. Driven by Brooks' generative, poetic lyricism, Light and Matter's delicate, stirring songs pay the cherished phenomenon of good company forward, offering balm in the "solitude of twilight" and joy among your own loved or soon-to-be loved ones.
