Born a fledgling pseudo-solo project of young songwriter Kat Burns, Forest City Lovers took flight in 2006 with the independent release The Sun and the Wind. The band grew up into a fully-realized collaborative outfit and in 2008 launched their critically acclaimed sophmore album Haunting Moon Sinking (Out of This Spark), a collection that bolsters FCL’s signature tunefulness with talented musicianship, strong guitar lines, and swelling string arrangements.
Phodilus and Tyto, a 7” vinyl released at the end of 2009 paved the way for the full-length follow-up, Carriage, being released July 2010 on Out of This Spark. Carriage picks up where Haunting Moon Sinking left off, carrying forward with arrangements and melodies that go from accutely vulnerable to downright sinister. A collection that drifts sonically across decades, Carriage laces 1970s whimsy and elaborate string arragements (Mika Posen) into contemporary pop gems to keep your feet tapping as you go singing down the sunny street.
While Burns and the other Lovers make their home in Toronto, they tour frequently across Canada, the US, and Europe, drawing inspiration for their songs from these migratory ventures into foreign urban and rural environments. With their new album on the horizon, keep an eye out for this unique band of songsters in your hometown.

I love your music, I've been listening to it obsessively for the past few days :) I'm going to go to my local CD store and see if I can find your album there! And I love this video, too.

I don't know why this song randomly popped into my head, but it's still great all these years later. That breakdown at 2:49 is so joyous

I randomly stumbled across your music on a playlist on the internet. I love everything you've done. Any chance you'll be coming to the east coast US in the future?

Just when I didn't think the song or video could become even more charming... it did! Found this vid randomly and will check out some more... hope you're still performing and perhaps I will be able to catch a show in Toronto or Montreal sometime.
