Saddle Creek has announced the signing of Lawrence, KS-based Old Canes and will release the band’s sophomore album, Feral Harmonic, on October 20, 2009.
While folk music at heart, Feral Harmonic is far from traditional, with the songs drawing elements from different influences such as indie and even punk rock. The album explores transcending fear, and the human spirit’s tenacity when faced with life’s complications and challenges. Bold and resounding, the songs run the gamut from barreling and joyous (“Little Bird Courage”) to cautious and foreboding (“Trust”, “Next Flood”) to quiet and wistful (“Southern Radio”).
