Fjord Rowboat. This five piece band is like a little diamond in the shoegaze scene of Toronto. The band is playing together since Ocotber 2004 and they released their debut "Saved The Compliments For Morning" in 2007, which really knocked me over. The album starts with "Carried Away" a song that builds up a great atmosphere and explodes in the end. The next two ones are my favourite ones. "Can't See The Sun" and "Shootin the breeze" have this kind of stuff that you can't describe. I think its about the drums. They are so dominant, overlayed with this great shoegazing guitars and a wonderful voice. Every verse grows up in a dreary mood to burst in the refrain. This is the kind of music I wanted to listen to, for years. Longdrown songs alternate with more faster songs and the whole album consists of this previously described gloomy mood. Amazing!
Fjord Rowboat are now working on their second record and hopefully will release it in summer /fall this year. Hope to here from you soon! Fjord Rowboat are Kevin McKay (Drums), Ian McKay (Bass), Justin Grant (Guitar), Craig Gloster (Vocals, Keyboards) and Matt Collum (Guitar). Matt gave me "Cant't See The Sun" and "Shootin the Breeze" to post for. Here they are... Enjoy them and check for news on their homepage or on MySpace.
