Join Woodland Telegraph on the final album in their Canadian Landscape Trilogy, a decade-long project to map out the landscapes of Canada in song.

While the preceding albums in the trilogy explored the Rocky Mountains and prairies, SCREENDEATH SUMMERSONG steps into a world where the lines between nature and technology are blurred. Travel through a landscape where circuitry grows from trees, folk songs melt into pixels and we see screens instead of people’s eyes. These are folk-roots songs about constant digital connection; about what happens to our online lives when we die. Songwriter Matthew Lovegrove set out to explore screen culture through the lens of Canadiana roots music: “We spend so much of our waking life on screens, but there doesn’t seem to be any folk songs about it.  I wanted to create a musical and lyrical landscape where I could engage with these ideas in a meaningful way.”

Woodland Telegraph hack the folk genre by mixing in field recordings from big box stores and ambient soundscapes, creating a world where folk music blends with the digital. From hazy summer pop songs like summerblood to the darker roots sound of factory work; Woodland Telegraph shine a light on our digital age with rich imagery and harmonies.  By the second half, we move closer to the heart of the album where we have a choice: to fully embrace our lives on screen,  or find another way.
