Great Lake Swimmers - Ongiara

Think My Morning Jacket's Jim James soothing vocals over a terrific acoustic sounding band.

Great Lake Swimmers is simply a riveting listening experience.

Check out the reviews:

"A wonderful atmosphere - minimalist well done" - New York Times

"Ambient Zen Americana" - Mojo Magazine

"Spiritual folk of the most affecting variety" - Stylus

"Tony Dekker takes acoustics very seriously. His haunting, somber ballads emit an otherworldly quality, due in no small part to the natural environment in which they're captured … Natural reverb and folkie arrangements complement Dekker's soft voice perfectly" - Rob Bolton, Exclaim!

"Just when it seems like it can't possible get more beautiful, the next song sets the bar even higher and it becomes an overload of pure awesome. Ongiara is slow and spare, yet amazingly rich and varied... Decidedly country in flavour but not in overall tone... Dekker weaves lyrical tales that are as ethereal as his shimmering songs, open to interpretation while bearing a straightforward foundation." - Chart, March 2007
