Montreal-based singer-songwriter Basia Bulat is taking an eclectic and electric approach to her new EP. Known for her folksy tunes and accompanying autoharp, Bulat is now sprinkling in a dash of Eurovision to her whispery and whimsical lyrics. Still, Bulat’s roots shine through with a haunting and chilly falsetto voice that only a Northerner could provide—think Amy Millan of Stars or Molly Rankin of Alvvays.

The EP ebbs and flows from bouncy tracks with heavy bass to ethereal and melancholic ballads. From song to song, listeners don’t know what to expect: the opening track “My Angel” is an upbeat love song and “Disco Polo” is a nostalgic homage to her musical upbringing in the tune of 1990s Polish Disco. Some songs would be the perfect soundtrack for casting spells in a misty forest, while the string quartet in others transports you to the formal but contemporarily edgy balls of Bridgerton—a perfect fit for an EP titled Basia’s Palace.

As the artist recently told RANGE, “This is a record named for the era of life I’m in right now, learning to be a parent of young children, surrounded with love and memory, dreams, bad wiring, cat fur, and groovy old wallpaper. It’s like a special landscape that comes alive in the late hours of the night, taking in all the mess we inherit and what we’ll leave behind.” And what Bulat has left us on this specific offering, right up to the dramatic final track, “Curtain Call,” is a dynamic listening experience from beginning to end.
