The Montreal/Stockholm duo Erika and Simon Angell have unveiled the first track from their new album. Entitled 'As Long As We Try A Little', it features on the 'Turning Rocks' full length out on April 7 thru Secret City Records.
This will be the follow-up for the husband and wife team to their 2012 album 'Harbours'.
'Turning Rocks' is both a scrapbook of memories and oral transmissions from an island in Sweden, and a sonic experiment in tone and colour recorded in Montreal. Lyrically inspired by Erika’s childhood home: a small house in her family for generations, in a tiny village on Orust—an island in Sweden just north of Gothenburg. The process began with true stories that Erika’s grandmother told her about people and events from her own youth. “She was a little girl growing up on the exact same land and in the same house as I did,” Erika explains “so when she spoke about all those things I felt very connected to it.” The process followed from there, with each song on the record drawing inspiration from a different human life somehow connected to the place.
