Pressing Specifications
Who Are Indian Wars?
Indian Wars are a five-piece band from Vancouver, British Columbia, who built a strong live reputation around their hometown before releasing their debut album Walk Around The Park in 2011, which drew comparisons for its twang-influenced keys and guitar work. The band's growing following included opening a Vancouver show for Black Lips during the chaotic night of the 2011 Stanley Cup riots. Austrian label Bachelor Records first connected with the band after hearing their track If You Want Me, going on to release a debut 7-inch in 2009 before backing their full length albums.
About Songs From The North
Recorded as a ten track follow up to Walk Around The Park, Songs From The North leans into a rougher, more organic garage sound across blues, country and rock influences, fronted by vocalist Felotick's whiskey-worn delivery. Reviewers noted the album's honky-tonk piano, thundering rhythms and unpolished, live-band energy, comparing the record favourably to acts like Spider Bags, Compulsive Gamblers and Reigning Sound. Bachelor Records, who had already released the band's debut 7-inch and first album, put the record out as the third Indian Wars release on their imprint.
