New Music from The Wilderness of Manitoba
Admittedly, I’ve been posting lots of rock n’ roll, and things that aim to get your blood pumping. But, I still have an affinity for well-crafted folk-leaning pop music, and so I was grateful for the change of pace that swept into my email late this afternoon. The Wilderness of Manitoba definitely has a rootsy-feel to it, but their usage of lofty harmonies and all around craftsmanship have made them a joy to listen to this afternoon. If you’re enjoying what you hear, and I sincerely hope you do, the group will release their US debut on May 10th, titled When You Left the Fire. If it’s anything like this track below, it’s going to come in handy on those summer road trips and camping ventures with your friends.

I can’t wait to hear their full length! I’m definitely a fan of Orono Park, and their live acoustic sessions are just as awesome 🙂 http://www.spinner.com/2011/03/14/wilderness-of-manitoba-aidan-knight-play-cmw-cmf/
