The Folk – Fire in the Back Room
Guelph/Toronto psychedelic folk rock group The Folk uprooted themselves and moved to Montreal after completing their 2014 debut album We All Say to kickstart their sophomore release Every Colour, Present Wonder, which is out September 18th.
“Each song is a colour, a glimpse into each personality that comprises our core entity. For four months we lived and breathed this album. From conception to finish, it was our present wonder. It’s reflective of our past–what do we have to say or do in order to reconcile ourselves? It’s a commentary on the death of family, the deaths of lives not lived and the struggle to rejuvenate life into symbiotic relationships. We settled our past and have come out stronger, more passionate and more vicious.”
Their newly found intensity can be tested before the release date with the lavish lead single “Fire in the Back Room”. Powered by ritual-esque percussion and pulsating rhythms, “Fire in the Back Room” dances around in structured chaos, taunting the listener with sharp vocals before suddenly dropping back to caressing harmonies and chants.
Enjoy the single below and head to their bandcamp for more music.
