LA songwriter Ethan Buckner’s indie/folk pop project The Minnesota Child is all about finding “the beauty in both the dark and the light” (Impose). His forthcoming LP, produced by Justin Glasco (Wild Rivers, The Lone Bellow),is by far Buckner’s most introspective, vulnerable, and exploratory work.

Biography FR/EN

L’orage gronde sur les old harry rocks. Imaginez une montagne qui brûle et pourtant une lueur paisible qui s’y installerait. La brume se dissipe, la voix nous enveloppe. Des sonorités folk, ils n’en font ni feu ni lieu et on vagabonde quelque part entre les musiques bricolées de Tune Yards, les titres sombres de Billie Eilish, les mesures répétitives de Stereolab et la plume sensible de Kae Tempest. Sur scène, les fréquences électro qui parlent au ventre, la guitare lacérée, la lumière des synthés, les émotions exacerbées comme une réponse à la fureur du dehors.» Domination, célébrités, contradictions, réflexion personnelle sur un monde en perte de sens. Leur dernier album “Fearless” n’échappe pas à la règle, l’exploration c’est sans doute ce qui les anime le plus.

The storm roars over the Old Harry Rocks. Picture a blazing mountain, yet a tranquil glow softly settles upon it. As the mist clears, a voice surrounds us. Folk-infused sounds, neither a sanctuary nor a blaze, lead us on a meandering journey. Somewhere between the DIY music of Tune-Yards, the dark tracks of Billie Eilish, the repetitive measures of Stereolab, and the sensitive lyrics of Kae Tempest. On stage, the electro frequencies speak to the gut, the slashed guitar, the light of the synths, and heightened emotions, all as a response to the fury outside.
Domination, fame, contradictions, personal reflection on a world losing its meaning. Their latest album, Fearless, is no exception to the rule — Exploration is undoubtedly what drives them most, and what they do best.

Born in a storm on a wild Canadian lake, Red Moon Road came into its own on the trails between coast and coast. All credit goes to the chemistry, and to the magic that happens when the Winnipeg band’s two Daniels – jazz-trained Daniel Jordan and bilingual prog-rock vet Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner – strum up the strings to support twilight-voiced singer Sheena Rattai. From living rooms to folk fest stages, the three have charmed fans from coast to coast with their lush and lively take on modern roots, peppered always by bright stage banter. As you can hear on their brand-new eponymous debut album, it’s all sort of rich and warm and deeply familiar, like a campfire crackling wherever the microphones stand: even if it’s your first time in the audience, you come as a friend of this band.
