Their previous album, Everything Will Happen, spent ten weeks on the top ten Canadian folk charts, and earned them a support slot across Western Canada with Buffy Sainte-Marie and an appearance at UK’s Glastonbury Festival. Their follow-up, The Promise of Strangers, is set for release on January 26th on Borealis Records.

 

No Help Coming UK Release and Reviews

No Help Coming came out in the UK on June 7th. Feeling really blessed to have such nice receptions to the work. See below for links to individual reviews.

“This is classic songwriting with a conscience.” – AmericanaUK

“A dazzling formal success, which we hope will manage to move consciences as much as it seduces the eardrums. – Paris-Move, France

“Every now and then there are surprises that leave you speechless, even if you have decades of listening under your belt. This is one of them.” – RootsTime, Belgium  

“4.5/5…finds the foursome bridging the complexities of families, partnerships, and friendships with the ever-present priority of the climate crisis.” – Keys and Chords, Netherlands

“4/5….The focus is on the changing lead vocals and harmony phrases that anchor the work.” - Westzeit, Germany
