Description
Folk Music Twisted In A Blender
Ours To Destroy's music is a unique juxtaposition of introspective folk with more aggressive experimental rock and melodic pop.
The CD was professionally manufactured by Indiepool.ca and includess a 16 page staple booklet with original artwork by Natalie Marsh and Colin Whitney. The songs are bridged by sound montages captured during several guerilla recording sessions on the streets and in the malls of Calgary during 2005.
Despite treading on lyrically heavy topics, Ours To Destroy manage to present it with lighter tones - that undefinable quirk - reminiscent of bands like Ween or The Eels. Their experimentation in sounds is a clear tip of the hat to early experimenters the Pink Floyd. Their sound, beside those already mentioned, is influenced by Modest Mouse, Wilco (from whom the band's name is derived), and the Flaming Lips.
About the Players
Ours to Destroy was formed in 2005 by Steve Dodd and David Morley.
Dodd is the owner and brains behind The Sound Mind Studio (www.TheSoundMind.ca) whose services include song writing, live and session performance, engineering, mixing, and mastering. Dodd has an uncanny ability to listen to a 'song sketch' and hear the instrumentation, tones, and harmonies that should be there to capture the mood effectively.
Damo is the impetus behind the album penning the initial lyrics and song ideas you hear on the album. Damo provides vocals, guitars, bass, drum programming, suitcase percussion, lyrics, and keyboards.
