Choose Your Own Adventure (Do Right!)

By Benjamin Boles

Mixing music and comedy is a strange thing. Most of the time it doesn’t work: the jokes suffer from repeat listening, and it’s not easy to take silly songs seriously. Once in a while, though, someone brings it all together in a delightfully weird package, which is exactly what Toronto’s Maylee Todd has done on her wonderfully wacky debut album.

Style-wise, she’s all over the place. There’s trippy, ethereal harp strumming, lilting bossa nova influences, cosmic jazz vibes, doo-wop references, uptempo soul grooves and chanting children, but somehow it all jells. The subject of a song like Aerobics In Space is definitely on the goofy side, but she delivers the tune with such giddy joy, you can’t help appreciating its ridiculous fun.

It’s a lot easier to write deathly serious songs than to capture the spirit of light-hearted good times, but which would you rather listen to on a sunny summer afternoon?

Top track: A Lullaby For My Fictitious Children

Maylee Todd plays the Piston Saturday (June 19) at midnight as part of NXNE.
