The band has toured for the past two years behind their acclaimed concept album, Glory Hope Mountain, surrounding front man Rolf Klausener's mother and her life story. After runs with Elbow, Phosphorescent, Calexico, Akron/Family and Bowerbirds among others, they retreated to an isolated cottage in northern Quebec to work on the followup, No Ghost, where songs were crafted as a collective effort, at all hours of the day and night.
These guys are an incredibly seasoned live band, and 100% worth seeing for yourself if you haven't yet
Opening are Basia Bulat and local detroiters Citizen Smile
