WELKIN

'This Is Your Blood All Over Me' , the title of welkin's 3rd record--a double-album epic opus steeped in the wilderness--evokes provocative images and importantly hints at the experiential process Geoff Birch uses to write welkin songs. Retreating to the backwoods of British Columbia and getting away from the city has certainly given Birch a richer connection with the wonders of the natural elements and you can really feel it grow out at you through the music. In the aptly named song ‘Pride From The City Pried From My Heart’ , the trapdoor is flung wide open and you are let in on this mystical rite:

"So I went out one night

Guitar in my hand

Feeling a song welling up in me

And I laid it down at the feet of the stars

In mountain arms I sang it loud

In the eagle’s cathedral

The bats in the belfry

The bear's baritone

The blue grouse beats on the kettle drum

So I headed for home free and alive"

What the critics have to say:

"This Is Your Blood All Over Me is nothing short of epic. Birch’s lyrics ponder the natural and spiritual worlds and his place in each, but it’s the music that’s the real revelation here. The best word for numbers such as “Raven Falls” and “Seasons in the Wilds” might be expansive. Produced in collaboration with Jonathan Anderson (who is a past master at this sort of thing), these songs unwind slowly, melding down-in-the-canyon country-rock with ethereal space-prog in a way that brings to mind Neil Young fronting Pink Floyd. That’s a mighty nice thing to bring to mind, too."

Hailing from Vancouver, BC, We Hunt Buffalo, a 3 piece stoner rock group--Ryan Forsythe (Vocals/Guitar/Bari Sax), Brendan Simpson (Bass/Vocals) and Brandon Carter (Drums/Percussion)--plays dirty, grimy stoner rock with fuzz-tastic results. Animal rights activists rest assured, they use the whole buffalo. Recorded at 'The Hive' in Burnaby. BC, We Hunt Buffalo produced their own debut LP and released it in September 2011.
