Saddle Creek signs Old Canes

Contributed by aubin. Posted by Bryne on Saturday, July 25, 2009 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

Saddle Creek has announced the signing of Lawrence, KS act Old Canes and will release the band's sophomore album, Feral Harmonic, on October 20, 2009. The band features Christopher Crisci, vocalist/guitarist of The Appleseed Cast, who constructed the record largely alone in his basement studio. The label notes:

"He [Crisci] played the majority of the instrumentation himself with additional help from a cast of musician friends contributing various parts, including trumpet, harmophone, cello, and hammer dulcimer, among other instruments. As recording was regularly interrupted by touring, work, other projects, and life in general, production on the album took nearly three and a half years to complete."

The record will be the band's first since Early Morning Hymns, released in 2004 on Second Nature Recordings.

Neat.

KurtTGS (July 26, 2009)

YES!

I've been waiting for a new record forever.

Their first is such a hidden gem. More people need to hear it.

I can only hope the new album continues where Early Morning Hymns left off.

I like The Appleseed Cast's first album...

Sometimes you're so predictable. I do too, though. :)

Lawrence, KS may be the anti-punk.
its is colonized by tired hippies and floor-punching jocks.... yet i have such a good time when i go...

LookBackAndLaugh (July 25, 2009)

there are too many hippies, it's really frustrating

I know what you mean, but I have great friends and family around here. Maybe that helps me see past a lot of the bullshit that can give this town a bad name. I hate listening to hippies and vagrants talk about why they love this place when sometimes they are the ones that make it seem like bullshit. I once saw a sticker: "Yes, this is Lawrence, now go home." I want one of those stickers.

About time.

I have a feeling this will be way better than the new appleseed cast album

soundforlanguage (July 26, 2009)

I highly doubt it. It will be good i'm sure.

LookBackAndLaugh (July 25, 2009)

I go to KU, and I've never heard of them. Maybe I'm not cool enough.

The only local band posters I see are for shitty "electro-psychedlica" hippie bullshit. They have some cool names though- at first, I was sure that "avant national guard" was a punk band, before I heard them

MyStereoHasMono (July 25, 2009)

Dude, I've been waiting for this for far too long. First record is amazing. If you haven't, get on that shit with the quickness.
