Feral Harmonic, the sophomore album from Old Canes - a project fronted by The Appleseed Cast's Chris Crisci - is set to drop October 20, and the band will make a Chicago stop this Friday, October 16 at Bottom Lounge as part of their fall tour promoting the release.
The new release follows-up 2004's Old Canes debut, Early Morning Hymns. Work on Feral Harmonic - which features material written, played and recorded almost exclusively by Crisci in his basement studio, "Toyshop" - kicked off in 2005 and took three-and-a-half years to complete. The result is a solid collection of bold, eclectic folk rock. Tracks such as "The Last Collapse," "I Will be the Sun" and the hopeful, up-tempo "Little Bird Courage" add punk rock energy to the material's folk base, while others such as "Under" and "Southern Radio" introduce a quieter, more subtle Americana approach that adds an effective balance to the record.
