 On his first full length effort, singer/songwriter Mav Karlo, otherwise known as Menno Versteeg, offers up a much more elaborately realized, yet no less
intensely intimate body of work. With its gracefully sparse arrangements, the album centres on Versteeg’s lyrical storytelling, revealing a narrative voice deeply attuned to the beauty in the ordinary and routinely overlooked.
 ‘Strangers Like Us’ closely documents an especially tough period in Versteeg’s life but the album ultimately showcases an undeniable courage in its
commitment to truth-telling and unsparing selfexamination.
He is supported by spirited guest performances from Katy Goodman of Vivian Girls (on vocals), Charlie Spencer of Dizzy (keys, drums) and Versteeg’s Hollerado bandmate Nixon Boyd (guitar, bass).
 Album produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amen Dunes, Beach House) and recorded at Sunset Sound and Sonic Ranch.
 Menno Versteeg is the owner of Royal Mountain Records and a former member of both Hollerado and Anyway Gang (first single was No.1 on Canadian National alternative radio).
 Press - Features on Pitchfork, VICE, World Cafe, Genius, Toronto Star.
