When the time is right, these guys need to do another TROW album. I was listening to Shrine today, and they make great records. Loki g forward to TOT, but the the Wolves are my favourite.
I really liked, but didn't love this album when it first came out. Today I woke up with The Canyon in my head (does anyone else wake up with random songs in their head?) so I decided to listen to the whole album. I now see the folly of my ways, this album freakin rocks dude
All their albums are really good. I’m not sure if there will be another album, but there should be. I am amazed no labels picked them up, but in my opinion, the production, artwork and videos have all been solid. It was also sort cool to message the band and buy the deluxe version of the album off of them directly (for Shrine). Hope there is more to come when the time is right.
Colored Out gets stuck in my head every so often. "THEN WHAT THE HELL'S THE TRUTTTTTHHH FOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!"
I actually listened to this yesterday for the first time in a while too so funny the thread blew up at the same time. I thought when Tigers in Trains put out that single last year that it said it was part of an upcoming 2019 album? I guess it got pushed back.
Hard to argue with that. Though I really love them all. I'm listening to No Matter How Narrow right now which I've probably always thought was the worst but I'm really digging it. The closer is one of my favourites from them for sure.
While I agree that album as a whole is meh, it does have some of their best work. Greenville, Pioneers, Vinedresser, Through Empty Vessels.
I think they missed their opportunity. If I remember correctly, they turned down a deal with Equal Vision and decided to do everything in house. Probably a mistake because if this band had been marketed properly and actually toured, they'd have a pretty large following.
I love all the records. I think Varuna is such an impressive first record. It has depth. They really built if the EP. Narrow does shift energies a bit, and it’s still really good. Shrine sort of takes from both records and put it own special mark on there. 3 for 3, plus a wealth of b sides and alt versions. They also had really professional feeling releases. I am glad they stayed independent because what they gave us was fantastic, but I wish they had become more known. If I was involved in a label I would have signed them after those demo leaks.
"No Matter How Narrow" became a huge favorite of mine because when it came out Michigan was having one of the shittiest winters. The vibe of that album and "Frozen Feet" just kinda sucked me in. "Turning Lane" is perfect.
