Thank you, Lauren Hayes for the incredible review of Federal Lights new record: "The arrangements are rich without becoming overwhelming. Atmospheric keyboards blend naturally with expressive guitars, creating a sound that is warm, immersive, and easy to get lost in. Strong melodies tie everything together, giving the record plenty of memorable moments while allowing the songwriting’s emotional side to shine."

Heritage plaque.
In 1960, Olga Alexandrovna died in a friend’s apartment above a barbershop near Gerrard and Degrassi. She never returned to Russia.
She was living there with friends, no longer managing on her own.
Next door is 714 Gerrard St East. We’ve been here for twelve years.
