Words by Brendan Sullivan Q: What do you get when the lead singer of a post-rock band originally formed in California starts writing acoustic songs with folksy tinges and forms a new band based out of Kansas? A: Old Canes , the fabulous net result of singer/songwriter Chris Crisci's project away from the older and more established act The Appleseed Cast . Having discovered and listened to much of Old Canes first, I was somewhat surprised to learn the band's history, but in retrospect it explains rather well a [...]

![[mp3] Old Canes – Little Bird Courage](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2876517_lg.jpg)
"Little Bird Courage" is a song taken from Old Canes 2009 album Feral Harmonic . I couldn't help but hear a little bit of Okkervil River in the upbeat organic rootsy pop-rocker. Weirdly enough, Old Canes sits right under Okkervil in my iTunes. The album came out last year, but Old Canes are a new find for me. There's something pure and uplifting about their sound. I really enjoyed the song and wanted to share: [mp3]: Old Canes - Little Bird Courage [...]
This year marks the most fun I've had yet putting together twenty songs to soundtrack your summer. The mix came together organically and joyfully while I did summery things, and the contentment I feel lately in these weeks is embedded in the picks. I declared on January 1 (when I did the Polar Bear Plunge ) that 2010 was going to be a flippin' fantastic year, full of new experiences - and it certainly is living up to the promise. Enjoy these as I have, play them at the BBQs to come, and burn them on CD [...]
Well, my mom is ecstatic. The Los Angeles Lakers have won their second NBA title in as many years. My mom is a HUGE Lakers fan, but you'd never know it. She doesn't have any Laker jerseys, no posters, no license plate frames, no bags, no nuthin'... yet she can rattle off Bryant's stats like Brent Musburger on acid. Before the finals started, I actually sat at the dinner table and listened to my mom explain how the Lakers are going to win. At first I laughed, but then she looked me dead [...]
It's Friday here at TheFrontloader.com, which means that it's time for This Week's Top 5 Most Played Songs From My iTunes! I know that you've all been waiting patiently for this moment... President Obama has already called me 5 times, asking if I would hurry up and post the list. I can't disappoint the Prez, so I told him "Dude, stop calling me. You're not the boss of me!" to which he replied: "I can have 5,230 law enforcement agents at your door in 10 minutes with just a [...]

PURCHASE | WEBSITE I never thought I'd ever hear another Old Canes record after singer/songwriter Chris Crisci released Early Morning Hymns in 2004. Crisci continued to heavily pursue his main project Appleseed Cast and I just assumed that Old Canes was going to be a thrown away side project. Well on October 20th Old Canes surprised me and released a new record on Saddle Creek titled Feral Harmonic and it's everything I wanted and waited for. It's raw and honest. Loud and bold . [...]

Through the silent ambush of heavy snow Friday, three great shows were happening about town, and one that I missed while I was seeing Fanfarlo was Old Canes at the Hi-Dive. Signed to Saddle Creek Records, Old Canes are the project of Appleseed Cast frontman Chris Crisci. I've just stumbled upon their most recent album Feral Harmonic a day late, a dollar short, etc etc. The marvelously warm opening track on the album breaks exuberant and brightly colored - pounding and thumping with [...]
Can a man who built his career around swirling guitars and the outer edges of rock write an alt-country record? Christopher Crisci has been plugging away in the world of atmospheric post rock with The Appleseed Cast since the decade started, and as of this year released one the more ethereal records in that bands catalogue. But all is not what it seems, and ambition can come in unexpected ways. Unless you've been around the Crisci camp for a while, you might have missed his alter ego and musical collective Old Canes . It's a reclusive one [...]
