The band’s album, Between Colours, is far-reaching. “When a band isn’t changing, it’s not growing,” says guitarist, keyboardist and vocalist Will Whitwham. From the band’s inception, it has redefined itself with every album; from Hymns of Love and Spirits through When You Left The Fire, Island of Echoes and The Leslieville Sessions. The evolution of their sound has run the gamut from four part harmonies and chamber folk to their current more cinematic arrangements.
Between Colours, showcases an explosion of strength with Whitwham and vocalist/guitarist/violinist Amanda Balsys trading and sharing lead vocals, and with a more rhythmic bottom end led by bassist Wes McClintock. Recorded at Revolution Recording in Toronto with producer Joe Dunphy, the album fully embraces all the studio had to offer. To address the wider range of dynamics in the songs, drummers Tom Bona, Marito Marques and Howie Beck were brought into the sessions. Other guests included Michael Phillip Wojewoda on theremin and Alex Lifeson with a signature guitar solo. The expanding instrumentation and layered guitar and synth effects combine to create one-listen pop hooks and adventurous sonic exploration.

The Wilderness of Manitoba Lyrics
A Year in Its Passing Every year we are hurried so slowly We vain our fears…

Echoes As we're lining up for a golden night I will follow…
Evening Well it's evening come again To lead night by the hand Now…
Hardship Acres Sing to me and watch my heart break Don't think of…

November All the loneliness we felt Oh, the feeling Cast a burden o…

Safe from Sin Why did I ever let you leave me first? Go without…
Shift We share the same vision cnd the same religion Take a hard…
St. Petersburg He was just a servant in the kingdom A place of…
