The Place I Left Behind
THE DEEP DARK WOODS
2011
“The new album finds continuity in themes of temporal and geographic alienation, neglected inward trails, and the scars of abandoned intimacies. The album opens with a song about Saskatoon’s rougher edges. West Side Street is a study in contrasts – fine spun vocals and a gently rolling melody cushion the gloomy story. The Place I Left Behind is loosely based on an old folk standard. Gorgeously morose, the title track confirms that The Deep Dark Woods capture lonesome yearning at its loveliest. Sugar Mama is a sweet and lively invitation to tap toes and shake off the blues; a seeming coming-of-age story is treated with playful banjo and an airy gait.”Produced by: The Deep Dark Woods Recorded at: The Sonic Temple, Halifax NS For more info: www.thedeepdarkwoods.com
