Description:
With vast cinematic scope, Norfolk & WesternsThe Unsung Colony leaps out of the speakers with an epic song cycle that winds up unprecedented peaks and cascades down fertile valleys, testing the limits of the bands collective arrangements, creativity, and musicianship. From musical embers to sonic wildfires, these songs place a band already known for their dynamic range on a whole new level reserved for the likes of Pink Floyd and Camper Van Beethoven. Norfolk & Western have come into their own. Adam Selzer and Rachel Blumberg are joined by bassist Dave Depper, multi-instrumentalists Peter Broderick and Cory Gray (Desert City Soundtrack), and violinist Amanda Lawrence to deliver their strongest performances to date. The Unsung Colony was recorded in the storied halls of Selzers Type Foundry studio, with a field trip to a Portland high school for symphonic embellishments. (Hush Records)
