Roger by The Canoes
Recorded in our house, 1100 Garnett in Evanston, IL, while we snacked hard.
"Perhaps The Canoes should have waited until winter to release their debut LP, Roger, because the record is brilliantly warm. The Chicago band’s folky take on melodic garage rock slowly simmers but never boils over. Overdriven guitars seamlessly blend with breezy tempos for a laid back approach that’s pleasantly intoxicating."
-- Loud Loop Press
"From the opening explosion of the debut album, Roger, from the Evanston band The Canoes ("We'll Meet in Minnesota") I knew I was hearing something special...this is solid debut from a band with a lot of potential and an approach that more bands should embrace."
