The Wooden Sky remind me of a less poppy, and possibly more talented, version of The Fray. The band is comprised of four dudes out of Canada with a penchant for truly wholesome music, the brand of music that I think the “industry” is lacking these days. From start to finish their newest album, If I Don’t Come Home You’ll Be Gone, is a perfectly balanced blend of on-point vocals atop hearty guitars, pianos and strings. Pretty much everything one would look for when digging into the “chillacious indie” realm.
In coordination with this album’s tour, the guys are also doing a pretty cool thing that they’re calling “A Documentary in Pieces” (directed by Scott Cudmore). You can catch the first to bits here and here. I would have embedded said Vimeo bits in this post, but I absolutely love the feel of that promo shot. Damn.
Anyway, as far as tonight’s show goes, I’d say that it’s going to be a pretty chill, yet immensely musically titillating. If it weren’t for my bro’s Kid Color and OCD Automatic playing at Relax Lounge, you’d definitely be finding me at Schuba’s.
