The Unsettlers- Oil & Blood



An eleven-piece band of time-traveling troubadours, The Unsettlers specialize in dark polkas, menacing waltzes, horse-drawn lullabies and funeral dirges for the living - all filtered through the creaking floorboards of a whiskey-soaked saloon. Based in Montreal, the lineup features a contortionist, multiple vocalists, clarinet, accordion, violin, horns, guitar, piano, bass, and trashcan drums. Sounding peculiarly familiar, darkly celebratory, and maniacally assured, The Unsettlers have gathered a devoted following with their haunting, windswept vocal harmonies and pulsing, danceable blend of Klezmer, Beat poetry, and big-top dixie.

Since forming in 2007, The Unsettlers have played over 200 shows, including: multiple appearances at Windsor's Festival Epicure, Pop Montreal, and Montreal Fringe; a month as featured entertainment at Carnivale Lune Bleue, a 1930s-style carnival based on the HBO series Carnivale; and most recently the evening finale on the Tree Stage at Montreal's Osheaga festival. The Unsettlers also recently brought their creeping madness to the Revival Nightclub as part of the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear "Night of the New Flesh"

Faeland - When I Close My Eyes



Este segundo trabajo de Rebecca Nelson y Jacob Morrison, evoca hacia esa diáspora musical celta, con una base amplia de texturas en tonos pop, country, folk, y jazz. Este dúo bristoliano es heredero de artistas como Nick Drake y Anne Briggs, pero el suyo no es un idilio exclusivamente inglés y los hilos sónicos del Nuevo Mundo que también recorren el álbum también evocan a personas como Joni Mitchell y actos más modernos desde Bon Iver hasta lo armonioso.

Este “When I Close My Eyes” es un álbum de sutilezas, sencillo y mundano. Así como la música solo debería caer en dos categorías, la buena y mala. Los nombres de las bandas también tienen una existencia binaria similar. Hay algunos nombres increíbles que te dicen todo lo que necesitas saber antes de que hayas escuchado su primera nota como en canciones de Metallica, los Stones, Tim Buckley o John Fahey por ejemplo, del mismo modo que los ha habido algunos atroces. Faeland encaja perfectamente en el primer bloque.

Leahy - Good Water



Their new album Good Water brings the five women in the group – Leahy sisters Julie, Erin, Maria, Siobheann, and Denise – freshly to the fore, in singing and especially songwriting, along with brother Frank on drums. As the songs on Good Water took shape, a new edge to their sound began to emerge with the addition of electric guitars which – as played by new band member Xavier Leahy (as well as guest musicians on the recording Bill Dillon, Nick Johnson and Adam Agati) – spurred the band on to explore the outer edges of their traditional/Celtic/folk/roots musical origins, pushing well beyond that footing. In another new development, Good Water finds the band working under the sharp, exacting hand of Grammy-winning Canadian producer David Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, Rush, Smashing Pumpkins, Afro Celt Sound System), who brought an additional new intensity to the sonic palette. The result is a wide-ranging collection of songs that newly ignite the many musical influences that motivate the band members – from rock to choral, country to classical, and beyond.

As an example, the first single and title track, “Good Water,” is an entirely contemporary song of hope; a timely message to a generation of “people called to be together” in a world stricken by anxiety, turmoil, and uncertainty. Although it expresses a universal sentiment, it’s as relevant a song as you’ll hear in 2020. With “Good Water,” Leahy have caught the eternal in the commonplace, and captured a feeling we can all recognize now, across the globe.

Over the course of their life as a band, Leahy has deservedly secured a place as one of Canada’s most highly regarded musical groups. Their emergence on the Canadian music scene in the late 1990s introduced audiences to the original Leahy sound – a foundation of strong stride piano, driving rhythm guitar, distinctive bass lines, and propulsive drumming, from which the band’s extraordinarily brilliant fiddles, passionate vocals, and exquisite harmonies were launched to mainstream music listeners.

Their reputation as excellent musicians, multi-instrumentalists, singers, and songwriters was (and continues to be) exponentially enhanced by Leahy’s stunning, high-energy live performances. It’s hard to imagine that anybody who’s seen Leahy play live would ever forget it. Their compelling live show remains fully intact with their captivating new sound, and is still the wind in the sails of their career voyage to a worldwide audience.

And what a career it’s been. Their 1997 eponymous album, Leahy, seized the public’s attention, and extensive touring (much of it as the opening act for Shania Twain) boosted the band to double-platinum sales in Canada. The album also sold impressively in the U.S. (where it reached No. 4 on the Billboard World Music chart), the U.K., and Europe. Leahy earned three Canadian JUNO Awards, for Best Instrumental Group and Best New Group in 1997, and Best Country Group or Duo the following year. Lakefield (2001) was Leahy’s second release, followed up in 2004 by In All Things. To date, Leahy have sold more than 500,000 albums worldwide. They’ve been featured in three PBS television specials – Leahy Live in Concert, Gael Force (with the Chieftains), and Leahy Live from Gatineau, Quebec – and are the subject of a 1985 Academy Award-winning documentary, The Leahys: Music Most of All.

Leahy are incredibly diverse, an 11-strong (with six in the current “core” touring band), multi-generational ensemble that encompasses the young and experienced; men and women; and mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, sisters, and brothers. Their eclectic music combines elements of the aforementioned folk, traditional, Celtic, and roots music – and now, especially, progressive, pop and rock – into a sound all their own. For Leahy there are no boundaries as they evolve – the band’s genuine love of such a diverse range of music fuels their uncompromising creativity. Refusing to be bound to the conventions of any one genre, defying easy definition, they’ve forged a truly unique reputation.

Paper Wings-Clementine (019) [USA]






Sus palabras: "‘ Woods and Fields "es la primera canción de nuestro próximo álbum, Clementine, y es una de las primeras canciones que Emily y yo escribimos juntas. Esta pista presenta nuestra versión clásica del canto a dúo y se basa en las raíces y tradiciones de la música antigua. A medida que revelamos lentamente nuevas facetas de nuestro sonido a lo largo del álbum, preservamos nuestra interpretación esencial de las raíces populares rurales. Clementine es una colección de canciones sobre el amor, el anhelo, la autorreflexión y la búsqueda de simpatía en la naturaleza. "Woods and Fields" representa esto bien, y es una instantánea de nuestra voz colectiva ". - Wilhelmina Frankzerda de Paper Wings
