The Party

by Andy Shauf

The Party cover art

The Canadian songwriter constructs an impeccably detailed, narrative-driven concept album taking place over the course of a single house party. Performing and arranging nearly every instrument himself, Shauf frames his cast of socially anxious, heartbroken characters in lush, 1970s-inspired orchestral pop and gentle piano melodies. It earned him widespread international acclaim and a nomination for the Polaris Music Prize.
