Like the first two critically acclaimed albums ('Great Lake Swimmers' in 2003, and 'Bodies and Minds' in 2005), 'Ongiara' continues to explore the worlds of indie folk, roots music and alt-country pop, with a focus on lyrics and the craft of songwriting. The new record is permeated with a rich natural reverb, courtesy of London, Ontario's Aeolian Hall, which creates the magical background on which the songs are painted. These ten new songs are largely inspired by Canada's majestic natural environment ('Your Rocky Spine') and our reciprocal relationship with the land ('Put There By The Land'). 'Where In The World Are You', 'Passenger Song' and 'Changing Colours' touch on themes of grace and understanding in life journeys, and the latter reflects on the cycle of living and dying. 'There Is A Light' is a love song thinly veiled as a protest anthem, and similarly, 'I Am Part Of A Large Family' contains a message of peace. Album closer 'I Became Awake' is a country-infused lullaby which speaks to revelation and self-realization. http://www.greatlakeswimmers.com/Buy me if you love me :)

Great Lake Swimmers is the debut studio album by the Canadianfolk rock band Great Lake Swimmers.

The album was recorded over several months in an abandoned grain silo in Dekker's hometown of Wainfleet, Ontario.^[3]

Led by songwriter-vocalist Tony Dekker, their haunting sound finds its roots in vintage folk and alt-country colourings, shaped by accordion and piano, lap steel and acoustic guitar, with a voice that seems to come from the walls.

The record was issued by weewerk in March 2003, in Europe by Fargo Records in March 2004, and Misra in the United States in April 2005.
