![[Review/Listen] – Gillian Welch – "The Harrow & The Harvest"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3987243_lg.jpg)
Tweet Just when I'd given up on the female vocalists of the current decades, after I'd spent years decrying the unending slew of pop-infused, sickly, sexualized women musicians, I found Gillian Welch . Although Welch has been releasing albums since the late 90s, my first encounter with her old timey, smooth vocals and loved-and-left lyrics was on the album she released last summer, "The Harrow & The Harvest" . Welch is the horsewoman of modern music, wrangling her way into [...]
The Wilderness of Manitoba Chamber folk rockers The Wilderness of Manitoba are gradually rising to the top of folk rock supremacy. Hailing from Toronto, Canada the quintet succeeds in capturing the attention of their listeners through the use of intricate, luscious vocal harmonies and beautiful arrangements. On tour with cello-driven trio Rasputina, The Wilderness of Manitoba took time out of their schedule to talk about touring experiences, recording their latest album and the reemergence of folk music. B-Sides: When You Left the Fire came out earlier this year, and the reception from [...]
The Wilderness of Manitoba is a band that has a real rustic feel. Their music feels good like a fire crackling on a cold winter night; it awes like the moon's glisten on snow. It's as comfortable as the creaks across an old wooden floor, but there's something new and vibrant about it, too. We had a chance to sit down with Melissa Dalton and Stefan Banjevic and talk a little bit about how the band writes, where they draw inspiration and a few of their favorite records. I hear [...]
Jag minns ett band från Stockholm. De lät som Television, de spelade rock'n'roll sådär kaxigt att det lät smart. Hackigt, utan att låta kackigt. De släppte en jättebra självbetitlad skiva som lät framtidslovande. Sen hände något, eller rättare sagt, det hände ingenting. Jag tror de fick lite publik i Tyskland och fortsatte hänga där istället för här. Inget fel i det. Men tyskarna satte spår i musiken, för den blev trist och precis sådär okaxig, förvandlades till hackig och kackig. Det var synd. Men skam den som ger sig. Wilderness är The Horror The Horrors tredje platta. Den [...]

Thanksgiving is all of one second away, then Christmas, then 4th of July. Cripes. Despite that random snow shower a few days ago, we are still in the thick of autumn. I've always equated fall and early winter with some of my most favorite concert going experience and from the recent rash of ticket giveaways, it's clear that we are well into [...]
Wilderness is better when the band's not trying too hard. The Features try really hard. When the band tries a little less, as on mid-tempo rockers like "How It Starts" and "Another One", it manages to find that sweet spot where earworm-y melodies mate with thump-a-tub rock, and chugs along convincingly. When trying to be clever, however, as with the lyrically egregious "Big Mama Gonna Whip Us Good", the lyrics are so inane that they sink the whole proceedings. Wilderness is neither all bad, nor...

Tornoto five-piece The Wilderness Of Manitoba stand out from the abundance of folk around at the moment by taking it back to basics. Orono Park from the band, who return to the UK next month, is a relaxed, acoustic song that relies on its modesty to make it so affecting. There's no heavy production, no over-produced vocals and only a few instruments are utilised to ensure that the silky harmonies are never lost. It also acts as a perfect track to help you wind down at the end of a long day. [...]
The Wilderness of Manitoba . What a name for a band. Hailing from Toronto, these makers of chamber folk have already rocked (or should that be folked?) their own country and the US with debut album 'When You Left The Fire', and now they're hitting UK soil to release it here too. Their live expeditions over in the US have so far included support tours with Cloud Cult, Rasputina and Aimee Mann, and they've already toured here in the UK too, playing End Of The Road and London's Camden Crawl in 2010. The English equivalent is [...]
Tweetvaso link I've come across this song from The Wilderness of Manitoba on a few occasions, and I've had conflicting feelings each time. I believe I drafted a post about the song upon first hearing "Orono Park" several months ago, but when I heard the song shortly thereafter, I found myself questioning what that former...
Canada is secretly conspiring to take over the United States in the Folk/Americana music category. The Wilderness of Manitoba are a chamber folk quintet from Toronto comprised of multi-instrumentalist and vocalists. We fell in love with the band's latest album, When You Left The Fire , with its lush ambiance and warm four-part harmonies. Their communal approach to song craft layers in textures of lap steel, cello, banjo, and harmonica into a haunting and sparse folk sound. If this is your first introduction to The Wilderness of Manitoba, don't plan to turn it [...]
There are some songs that try far too hard to get you to love them, and then there are those that are so effortless that you can't help but be completely charmed. This absolute beauty from Toronto-based quintet The Wilderness of Manitoba falls into the latter category with no difficulty whatsoever. The swoon-worthy vocal interplay that makes up much of 'Orono Park 's ' first two minutes is a far more effective hook than you'd ever give it credit for, and [...]
August 15 @ Origami Vinyl In-Store August 16 @ Hotel Café The quintet The Wilderness of Manitoba just released the album When You Left The Fire and now they're out on the road touring. Dueling guy/girl vocal harmonies between lead vocalist Will Whitwham and back-up singer Melissa Dalton are a great match for their indie folk instrumentation. Although they are from Toronto, Ontario and not Manitoba at all, their sound is that of wilderness, drawing similarities to Vancouver/Pacific Northwest bands like The Head and the Heart and Said the Whale. Check them out in [...]
Tomorrow we head down to the first Wilderness Festival , taking place on our back door in the beautiful Cornbury Park Estate. Previously this lovely venue has hosted the Cornbury Festival, which has thankfully now moved elsewhere as (trust us) it has the worse possible line-up you could ever imagine for an event of this type. Anyway, the Wilderness is, as we say, a different kettle of fish featuring Gogol Bordello, Toots and the Maytals, Dry The River, Hypnotic Ensemble, CW Stoneking and Hayseed Dixie all creating the sounds today. Antony and the Johnsons [...]
