SOUTHEAST ENGINE 'CANARY' IS DEBUT RELEASE FOR NEW MISRA
ALBUM TRACK "NEW GROWTH" MP3 GIVEAWAY
TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
Fresh off releasing the free, artist-curated Misra Legacy Compilation and relaunching the label, Misra Records is pleased to announce Southeast Engine's outstanding fifth album, Canary – out March 29 - and available in all formats including limited edition canary yellow cassette with digital download code. While preserving the signature sound that earned their last album From the Forest to the Sea an 84 (Universal Acclaim) from rating aggregator Metacritic and past praise from The Onion, Pitchfork, Paste, Pop Mattters, Coke Machine Glow and more, Canary marks a dramatic step forward in regards to both songwriting and arrangement. SEE has scheduled a handful of February dates, a full March/April tour and will continue to announce shows in support of the record’s release.
Canary is an album born out of Athens, Ohio – the home of frontman Adam Remnant. The songs focus on a family living in a small Appalachian town in southeast Ohio during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The album is simultaneously personal and social dealing with themes of growing up, hard times, family, and sustainability. Southeast Engine went in to record the album during the harsh Athens winter of 2010. They left the studio with an album that musically combines the band’s unique folk-rock aesthetic with the old-time elements of Appalachian music.
Southeast Engine was discovered by The Wrens in 2006 and toured extensively with Deerhoof in 2010. Gregory Saunier of Deerhoof selected Canary’s “New Growth” for the Misra Legacy Compilation, Volume I and we’ve included the free download [here].
