Deeply sincere and humble, Autumn Picture's disarming debut comes from lone member Hubert Taschereau, a Canadian singer/songwriter with heartache to spare. Invoking the snowdrifts and frozen landscapes of the north, his bedroom-recorded acoustic rock casts a warm incandescence across an icy backdrop. The album's title reflects its homespun ethic, it's French for "home made". Reminiscent of Elliott Smith and Pedro The Lion, Autumn Picture's desperate tone and fragile delivery are offset by an optimism that shines through, bringing a glimmer of hope and a razor-edged sweetness to these often downhearted tales. www.milesofmusic.com
