Southeast Engine On 'World Cafe: Next'

The roots of Southeast Engine formed in the 1990s, when original bandmates and schoolmates Adam Remnant and Leo DeLuca were influenced by the underground music scene in Dayton, Ohio. Once they made the move to Athens, Ohio, they added to the lineup and the influences. Traditional folk and Appalachia have helped complete and ultimately define much of the band's sound since.

Southeast Engine recently released Canary, the follow-up to the highly praised but largely unnoticed Forest To The Sea. The new album employs folk, rock and bluegrass to tell the story of an Appalachian family during the Depression.

SOUTHEAST ENGINE FEATURED ON NPR !

You like The Band? Wilco? Okkervil River? Well if you like them, chances are you’ll dig Southeast Engine Never heard of them? Well, hopefully that will change with the release of their 5th album Canary on March 29th on the recently revived Misra Records.


The vitals:
The band was discovered by The Wrens, formed by frontman Adam Remnant and drummer Leo DeLuca.

The kind of music they play: Americana, rustic story-telling heartland rock that could have been recorded in Woodstock in 1972.

On the band’s new album, the songwriting conceptually tells the story of a family living in a small Appalachian town in southeast Ohio during the Great Depression of the 1930′s. Lyrically it covers timeless topics of social, cultural and political concerns. Musically, it’s classic rock wisely dressed up in 2011 clothes. It’s one of the best roots-rock albums of 2011 so far.

Download: New Growth – Southeast Engine

The band are starting a big tour which brings them to Philly on Sunday, February 26th at the M Room.

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].
