Lydia Ainsworth's reflects on the mirror as validation in new single 'Tell Me I Exist'

Will McGuirk March 13, 2019

There’s something of the prog-rock in the Toronto artist, Lydia Ainsworth, and something of a baroque Kate Bush and the visually evocative side of Peter Gabriel in there too. Her latest album ‘Phantom Forest’ drops May 10 and she has a gig lined-up for the Phoenix Apr 26 2019. This track, ”Tell Me Exist” the second single is as woozy as the watery reflection of Narcissus staring into a stream and as head nodding as the daffodils which line the banks.

From the album Phantom Forest ~ out May 10 ~ Pre-order: https://lydia-ainsworth.lnk.to/phantomforest instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lydia.ainsworth twitter: https://twitter.com/lydiaainsworth facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lydmusic Tell Me I Exist Written / Performed / Produced by Lydia Ainsworth In leverage of your comfort To match a portrait's face That hangs inside of a museum Now hangs a database A facial scan for adoration I've heard the Hunter tell - 'Tis but the ecstasy of death - And then the Brake is still!

Slowcity.ca Open Mic - Family Day edition: Broken Social Scene, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Saxsyndrum, Adam Baldwin, Parting Gift, Pop Evil, Lydia Ainsworth and iskwē

Will McGuirk February 18, 2019

Nothing says Canadian music family like Broken Social Scene, the thunderous hug of a band of BFFS, awesome in their own right individually and yet together still awesome. The TO crew have a new EP out, ‘Let’s Try The After - Vol 1,’ and they step up to open the Fam Jam open mic. Stay and listen to the rest of the voices, its quite the collection of folks and feelings, just like a family but remember its not a real family reunion until some one cries.
