The timeless sound of the aptly named "The Deep Dark Woods" belongs to
the depressing winters of the north. Pulsing with human warmth, these
original songs echo through the lonesome night. Ryan Boldt's plainspoken
lyrics offer a strong but gentle tone which understates poetry,
oftentimes as startling as hot blood in fresh snow. Despite the dark
themes, the heaviness never overwhelms the music's playfulness. An
utterly fun rhythm section, brilliant guitar work, and eerily rich
harmonies drive the songs. One could easily be forgiven for mistaking
their songs as treasures of decades past, as The Deep Dark Woods
approach their instruments with studied respect for the honoured
traditions of the shadowy side of roots music.
The Deep Dark Woods' newest release "Winter Hours" is a collection of
their best recordings yet. Working with Juno award winning
producer/musician Steve Dawson at "The Factory" in Vancouver, they
managed to truly bring out an energy that the new songs deserved,
recording the album live off the floor. What was created was an album
full of raw emotion, sadness, beautiful vocals and harmonies, new
sounds, and well thought out arrangements."Winter Hours" represents the
ever changing sound of the band, and a step forward from their latest
Black Hen release "Hang Me, oh Hang Me"(WCMA Nominated). Winter Hours
recently won Best Roots Group at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards,
and Ensemble of the Year at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
