Local pair make Disintegration\u2019s second

\nWhile local duo Cannon Bros. ended up releasing their self-titled debut EP last winter out of necessity, the release of their full-length Firecracker\/Cloudglow <\/em>came about because the pair chanced into an opportunity.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe EP we just kind of recorded with our friend and we weren\u2019t even really planning on releasing it,\u201d notes Alannah Walker. She explains, \u201cWe just recorded songs when we first started playing and then we went on tour last summer and we had nothing to sell so we were like, \u2018Let\u2019s just put all the songs that we recorded onto a CD and sell it,\u2019 so that\u2019s how the EP came about.\u201d
\nThe pair now finds their new record being tagged as the second release from brand-new Winnipeg label Disintegration Records, a move that came about organically as Cole Woods notes. \u201cI play in Greg\u2019s band and so Greg has heard our music, and the person that he\u2019s running the label with, Cam Loeppky, is the person who recorded our album, so it was kind of like a natural thing.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nBoth Walker and Woods sing Loeppky\u2019s praises with Woods stressing that \u201cHe mostly just acted as the engineer, which is pretty nice. Not a lot of people can do that, just sit back and be, \u2018No, it\u2019s your call, it\u2019s your call always.\u2019 He had some suggestions with guitar tones and sounds but he never changed the songs.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nWalker adds, \u201cAs far as the process goes it was really simple, relaxed and enjoyable and it didn\u2019t take us very long to record all the songs.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nNotoriously prolific writers, Walker admits that \u201cwe have written so many songs and played so many songs together that probably no one will ever hear and we probably don\u2019t even remember.\u201d So when it came time to consciously consider what would go on Firecracker\/Cloudglow<\/em>, the pair \u201cstarted playing the songs that we liked the most and stopped playing the other ones and I think that\u2019s how the album came together with the twelve songs.\u201d Woods is quick to note that they recorded the guitar and drums live off the floor and overdubbed the vocals and were conscientious about keeping the songs \u201cstill pretty simple\u201d so the pair could recreate the album live.<\/div>\n
\nAs to the title of the record and what exactly it means, Woods is tight-lipped: \u201cIt\u2019s kind of an ambiguous title I guess, I\u2019ll just leave it at that.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
