The Wooden Sky is kicking off their small mini tour (w/ Northcote) with "small" venues for a intimate acoustic setting from October 19 - 28. The show in Ottawa is totally sold out! So you might have to sell a body part just to get into the show. With all the crazyness, the band has dropped a new EP called City of Light. It is a teaser for what to expect for the full-length when it drops sometime in 2012. But for now the band has released the song Angelina . Have [...]

Gavin Gardiner of The Wooden Sky has piles of perfectly-formed melodies scattered around his home, I'm convinced of it. Every song I hear from the Toronto indie/folk-rock ensemble finds a way to lodge itself into my brain and gently gnaw, relenting only after I perform it for friends from my couch. The Late King Henry can be found on the band's sophomore LP "If I Don't Come Home, You'll Know I'm Gone", released in August of 2009; The album was produced by Montreal producer Howard Bilerman , who has been behind releases from Arcade Fire , [...]
