Surfacing
Sarah McLachlan
Emotional vulnerability characterizes this record, which became a standard for the late nineties. It contains enduring songwriting, anchored by piano-led ballads such as Angel and Building a Mystery.
Pierre Marchand utilizes clean, atmospheric production to complement sparse arrangements and raw lyrical content. The album captures a moment in pop-rock history when guitar-and-piano songwriting dominated the airwaves.
