NEWS: Kyp Harness releases The Wrong Way & Can a Poor Man Get a Fair Trial? on October 16
In an age of MP3s and iPods, Kyp Harness has decided to make his stand with the release not of a double album, but of two simultaneously released albums. The Wrong Way and Can a Poor Man Get a Fair Trial? come out on Tuesday, October 16.
“I
was reading a piece written by ex-Wall Street guy, commenting on what’s
going on these days,” Harness relates. “He predicted there would
eventually be blood in the streets, and said we were on our way either
to neo-feudalism or a renaissance. Here’s my little nudge in favour of
the renaissance, hopefully.”
The Wrong Way is electric pop ballads. Can a Poor Man Get a Fair Trial? is dark acoustic story ballads.
“They all came out of me in the last year or so,” Harness says. “I don’t understand it, but I didn’t see any reason to hide it.”
Both albums are produced, musically arranged and played on by multi-instrumentalist wunderkind Paul Linklater (Bidiniband, The Pinecones).
The albums follow on the heels of 2011’s Resurrection Gold of which CBC’s Bob Mesereau said “He’s a stone genius – a Toronto version of a Lucinda Williams or a Nick Cave” and The Globe and Mail said “He packs more fine lines into five minutes than Shakespeare and Ron Sexsmith combined.”
