Great Big Sea is a bastard. Forged from the loins of Figgy Duff and
Ryan’s Fancy, GBS found its feet on the unforgiving streets of St.
John’s, and stood their ground when others faltered.
The band dragged themselves out of the city’s infamous bars to release
their Warner debut Up in the spring of 1995. Relentless touring and a
raucous live show quickly propelled the record to platinum. Their next
effort Play enjoyed even bigger success and the band moved its show
into hockey stadiums across the nation.
For this, their ninth album, the band made the surprise choice to work
with indie gadfly Hawksley Workman. “We wanted to push ourselves, to be
surprised by our own music,” said Hallett, “and Hawksley was the right
pilot for the flight…or the fight, depending on the circumstances.”
A remarkable 15 years in, the band should by this time be content to
slow down and rest on their laurels. Instead, Fortune’s Favour, Great
Big Sea’s 9th studio album that was recently released on June 24th,
sees them boldly embracing new sounds and new ideas, fearlessly pushing
the boundaries of their own art and music.
