The definitively Canadian duo... has an ear for pop hooks, but writes songs that sound warm and comfortable played on an acoustic guitar with little ornamentation." - NPR Music - in a relatively short time, Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walthers of the Canadian duo Dala have established themselves as one of the brightest rising stars of the pop-folk circuit. On their second release with Compass Records, BEST DAY, the duo has achieved a new level of maturity in both their abilities as songwriters and integrity of presentation. Vaguely reminiscent of fellow Canadian Feist and with echoes of Leonard Cohen's lyric sensibilities, Dala presents a set of tracks that are empowering and optimistic but not without a quiet mourning for the past and the impossible. Of particular note are the title track, a sweet love ballad called "Good As Gold" and "Life on Earth," which will be the first video single for the album, showcasing the trademark lush harmonies of Amanda's ethereal soprano and Sheila's velvety alto.
