Julie Doiron: Tiny Desk Concert

Song Of The Day

Julie Doiron: Heartache's Frayed Edges

In "Consolation Prize," Doiron addresses a man, living in the aftermath of a breakup, who finds that his friends won't let him leave it behind. By bringing up the pain wrought from sympathy, she's effectively doing the same thing, but Doiron isn't going for a palliative here.

Second Stage

Julie Doiron: 'Heavy Snow'

Julie Doiron's recent collaborator, Phil Elverum of the band Mount Eerie, calls Canadian singer-songwriter the "keeper of the world's greatest and saddest voice." But these days, Doiron sings a more optimistic tune. She even describes her latest album, I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day as "positive and uplifting."
