THE WILDERNESS OF MANITOBA

Event information

"Every now and then something or someone gets through the cracks, rises above the general morass and makes you sit up and take stock, even for just a few minutes. From the moment I hit play on THE WILDERNESS OF MANITOBA's latest EP 'Hymns of Love and Spirits', I knew I was hooked. There's a stark understated beauty to its 8 tracks, which combine perfectly executed four part harmonies intertwined with muted banjos, solitary cello and subtle finger-picked parts. There's a clear homage to the 'classics': Joni, Neil and CSNY, but the heavily reverbed guitars and slow pace also call to mind slowcore lynchpins Red House Painters and, to an extent Neil Halsted's Mojave 3."
