One new album I've been listening to as of late is When You Left The Fire by Toronto folk five-piece The Wilderness of Manitoba. Although not your typical "blast with the top down" summertime release, the CD has an eerie yet charming sound to it, reminiscent of a cross between Fleet Foxes and Great Lake Swimmers.
As its title hints, When You Left The Fire is ablaze with fire imagery. Fittingly enough, the album could perhaps best be enjoyed around a late-night campfire — after the crowd has thinned, the conversation has died down and only your closest friends remain.
Update: I recently reviewed When You Left The Fire for !earshot online. Click to read my CD review.
Over and out.
