He\u2019s spouting off hard truths like on the back half of \u201cPrairie  Loon\u201d\u2014like, \u201cWell some friends are gonna die \/ Some are gonna take their  own life \/ There\u2019ll be no reasons why \/ And, boy, you\u2019re gonna cry.\u201d  The first two songs and the last song, strongly focused on death, are  fleshed out with strings and back-up vocals and it makes for a pretty  emotional listen\u2014although they\u2019re words of comfort rather than  naysaying. Meanwhile, on the other end of the life spectrum, \u201cFine  Clothing\u201d is definitely the album\u2019s cheeriest, urging you to \u201cSing all  of those old songs \/ Those one your granddaddy used to love.\u201d Given  Fort\u2019s electric background, these songs aren\u2019t ripping off traditional  folk ballads but instead are thoughtful, spacey progressions backed by  all the usual folk instruments which are played by musicians from the  community (David Dobbs of Vampires and Ingrid Gatin to name a couple)  and other friends who have since become the rest of TWIN. For the  moment, the five-song EP stands alone in Winnipeg\u2014<em>Sharing Secrets with Strangers<\/em> is much more sinister than any other folk being made, and it\u2019s much more heartfelt than any indie rock.
