Heeding the invitation of historian/photographer/mondo Great Lake Swimmers fan Ian Coristine, Tony Dekker and his folksy crew took a field trip upstream to the Thousand Islands region of Ontario last year. There they recorded in churches, community centers and even a castle, basking in the picturesque environs and getting artistically inspired in general. Those recordings make up the bulk of Lost Channels, the group's fourth album. Lead single "Pulling On A Line" reveals how the group spent its 
river vacation: chiming mandolins, subtle harmonies and an easygoing beat combine to make the ultimate sonic postcard. Wish we were there, indeed...www.prefixmag.com
