We are pleased to announce we will be releasing the ‘Wild Country‘ EP by Canada’s ‘Wake Owl’ on April 15th.

The four tracks on the Wild Country EP introduce Wake Owl – led by primary member and singer/songwriter Colyn Cameron – as a unique, reflective new voice. The soul-searching songs range from the evocative title track’s poignant mix of pedal steel, violin, and brushed drums, to the buoyant drive of the rising “You’ll Never Go.”  This then gives way to the bright cadence of the sing-along worthy “Grow”, before the moody atmosphere of wistful “Seaside” closes out the EP. Shepherded by Cameron’s softly rasped, reedy vocals, Wild Country paints a lush, broad musical landscape that’s at once personal and universal, intimate yet accessible.

 Wake Owl began with primary member Cameron, who started writing songs around age 16. The Vancouver by way of Southern California native (he currently splits his time between Vancouver and Portland, OR) traversed the world in his late teens and early 20s, including two years studying organic agriculture at Emerson College in England, and working on farms throughout the UK, Germany, Chile, and Canada. His vast travels acted as a songwriting catalyst: after returning home to British Columbia and spending a brief period playing in other bands, Cameron began creating and recording his own songs as Wake Owl. Now also comprised of multi-instrumentalist Aiden Briscall and additional supporting players, the live show is something truly beautiful.

You can watch the stunning video for ‘Wild Country’ here.
