A haunting in a dark room
Quick hit today!
We’ll have a lot more coming in the next few weeks about the Wheat Pool as they bring forth their latest album, the interestingly-titled Hauntario. Expect a full review before its October 6th release date, but here’s a hint: it’s pretty awesome. The track “Right Arm” is a great window into their sound and aesthetic: coming off far less twangy than their name might suggest, the band presents a break-up song that’s a lot more realistic than pretty much any you’re heard before, combining rock elements and cursing with lap steel and acoustic guitars. Its very affecting and personal and genuine. It aches.
The reason for this post is not only to give you a little tease, but also let you know you can get the jump on the release by hitting up the band’s tour dates in the next month, starting here in Regina.
