You Should Be in Love with The Wilderness of Manitoba

It seems like I’m all over the place today, musically speaking. But, it’s hard when so many good songs come my way at once to ignore things. The Wilderness of Manitoba have just recorded The Leslieville Sessions (April 9th) in hopes of bringing about their live sound to their recorded material. If this is what they sound like live, then I think I might just have yet another band to hunt down during SXSW. When I first encountered the band they had a sprawling folk feeling, but this new track demonstrates a broader pallete, almost referencing a simplistic power pop/indie pop formula. It’s just such a wonderful track I couldn’t help myself. Hope you enjoy this song.

New Music from The Wilderness of Manitoba

February 11, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

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.
