NIGHTWOOD

Photo by Amber Ann Dawkins for Guttersnipe

Two things to share today with y’all! First is a fine set of photos by Amber Ann Dawkins for the west coast-based entertainment magazine called Guttersnipe. Enjoy! The pics were snapped at our January show at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern.

The other bit of nice for ya is this album review over on Quick Before It Melts, another web-based magazine, this time out of the Niagara region of Ontario. Here’s an excerpt:

• “The first few times through, I didn’t have the benefit of track names, but once I did some digging around I could put a name to the songs that drew me in, like “Johnny” (track 3), that reminded me of a scrappier, punkier Throwing Muses.  Their songs are airtight and, like the sweetly swaggering “Sunken Mountains” (track 4) proves, they’re no one-trick pony.  You’d do yourself a great injustice be just listening to one or two tracks before making up your mind about Nightwood, because just when you think you have them figured out, the next song comes on and it’s not what you expected to hear.  The influences may be of a DIY punk stripe, but these influences cross and intersect like lines in a madras shirt rather than a woolly checkered plaid.” (More here)

We’ve also recently completed an interview for QBiM, so do keep your eyes peeled for that as well.

Happy Wednesday!
