In case you weren’t aware, Toronto indie-rockers Born Ruffians have released a bunch of music over the last year.

Now, it’s time to share it with you.

💿 Miss Tea Party – “Old Fortress”

Posted on by

Miss Tea Party is the moniker of Toronto singer-songwriter Danah McCollum. We recently came across her debut album, Old Fortress, and we’re glad we did. It’s a collection of beautifully constructed folk songs that will leave you looking for more.

“It documents the various stages in a relationship as it is heading towards 2 lovers parting ways. When something is your whole world is leaving and you feel up-side down. You will find sounds of fear for the future, hope for healing, poetical processing of a major loss-not only in a relationship but the passing of loved ones as well-all at once.

Listen to the record in the embed, and be sure to hit up her socials for more. This is one artist you don’t want to sleep on.
