Backed by an ensemble of mandolin, banjo, violin, keys, guitars and drums, Banded Stilts' frontman Steve Haley's songs embody a distinct aspect of Canadiana, regaling narratives about the woods, wars, witches, dreams, and ghosts.
From the orchestral folk movements of songs such as "Forest, Oh Forest, Protect Me," to the more traditional folk stylings and harmonies of "The Owls," the latest Banded Stilts EP, By The Back Stair, is reminiscent of artists such as Great Lake Swimmers, Dan Mangan, and Bon Iver.
Recorded with Don Mackay at Spaces Between Studios (Amelia Curran, Tanya Davis, Acres and Acres), By the Back Stair will be released on Tuesday, July 05.
