Comprised of Carly Dow, Ben Hadaller and Dave Barchyn, the band released <em>Lost in the Woods<\/em> in 2010, a rough yet valiant five part EP recorded at Hadaller\u2019s cabin in one day. The EP was a glimpse into the promise possesses \u2013 a passion that drives the three of them to work intensely together on a fokly sound that is not only unique but tight and arousing. This time around, the band is doing it right, having recorded this album over the course of a couple weekends while still choosing to record back at the cabin. They dabble in a wide variety of genres and instruments, from pure folk, to Dixieland and gospel on this album. James McKee of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefholes.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">F-Holes<\/a> makes a trumpet and trombone contribution on tracks four and five, with Alex Campbell is at the piano on track five. Vocalist Carly Dow\u2019s vocals on the album are raw, while Dave and Ben offer silkier alternatives. <em>Hands in the Ground<\/em> is muddy and simple contemporary folk, and delves into deep themes of family, love and roots. If you\u2019re not already familiar with the band, stop by the WECC on October 13 to celebrate their album release party.
