Easy Days by Klarka Weinwurm

In the six years since the release of Huddle, sprawling tours and shifting tones have shaped Klarka Weinwurm’s new 10 track album, Easy Days. Titled in reference to the last decade or so she’s spent living on Canada’s east coast and playing in bands, Easy Days is something of an ode to our youth, our innocence and simplicity. It’s an image of time, growth and change of tone.
Songs like “Pulling Teeth” hark back to Weinwurm’s signature swampy blend of angelic folk vocals and dark, doomy garage riffs that evoke the scenery of Sackville’s marshlands she calls home. Unlike earlier releases, Easy Days flirts with dancey drum grooves and Weinwurm’s playful meanderings on a Yamaha PSS 170 toy keyboard, situating this upcoming release as the band’s furthest foray into pop.
This release was recorded between June 2019 and December 2020 with Dave Trenaman at The Quarantine in Port Greville, Nova Scotia. The Quarantine is a home studio with an introspection-inducing view of the Bay of Fundy, where the likes of Whoop Szo, Partner, and Julie Doiron have tracked some of their recent records. Easy Days features a mix of familiar and fresh bandmates, with Ian MacDougall(Tom Fun Orchestra, Hash Jesus, Robot Orbison) on bass, Luke Patterson (Mouthbreathers, Grease Beast, Jon Mckiel) on drums and some guest second guitar appearances by Zac Hackett (Lester Slade, East Coast Love Story, Grosse Bouche). Held down by Weinwurm’s signature gritty guitar tones and dreamy double tracked vocals, this newly crafted quartet brings a crisp polish to her trademark dilapidated, driving, punchy pop grooves.

Punchy pop, alternative garage rock with vocal sentiment.
