Wisecrack is the sophomore album from Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Haley Blais. Conceived as a conceptual record about the formation of new families amidst the dissolution of her parents’ relationship, Wisecrack is textured and wryly poetic, oscillating somewhere between cherished childhood memories and the creation of a new self. The existential, everyday worries we all contain but rarely share are laid bare across eleven songs exquisitely performed with profundity, grace, and humour.
Tongue-in-cheek lines like "I want my therapist to think I’m cool" give the melancholic mood a biting edge. "Can I be responsible for things that I did years ago? / I guess it could be good for just a laugh", Blais sings — that’s Wisecrack in a nutshell. Funny and raw at the same time.
This Deluxe Edition features 3 all-bonus tracks, including 2 new songs and a live edition of "Survivor's Guilt"!
