The couple that make up Whitehorse - Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet - happen to be Canadian singer-songwriter mainstays in their own right: both launched solo debuts in 2001, while the latter can trace his charts roots back to 1996 as one-third of Vancouver surf rockers Veal . They also happen to be married. To each other.
But it is not simply to marital bliss and respective discographies that this, the first Whitehorse LP, owes its effortless cohesion. McClelland and Doucet are long-time collaborators, and not simply in the help-me-assemble-this-IKEA-coffee-table sense: they've regularly appeared on one another's albums over the years, and Doucet, in fact, has produced three of McClelland's four albums to date.
As such, Whitehorse is on the front foot from the off with intimate duets and harmonies set with conjugal precision.
