Pre-Release Review – Faraway Neighbours

By: Amanda Hather

Album – I May Never Find Home
Release Date – May 31, 2014
Genre – Alternative Folk

North Bay, Ontario trio, Faraway Neighbours are set to release their sophomore album on May 31st, 2014. ‘I May Never Find Home’ has 11 tracks of a mix of slow and faster folk sounding songs. The softer sounding music gives their music a relaxed feel to it.

Some songs that you should really check out if you are a fan of this genre are “She Left The House”, “Long Time Listener”, and “Bad Advice”. There is also an instrumental track, “Setting Forth”, which showcases the bands’ musical ability and is really pleasant and relaxing to listen to. It gives off a cheery, springtime vibe – perfect to help you forget the winter that seemed to last forever.

I liked some parts of this album over others, but all in all it is really well put together and has a good flow to it. Some of the songs are a bit slower than what I am used to listening to, but given the right mood I could thoroughly enjoy this album. If you like folk or acoustic music this album would be perfect for you to listen to.

Rating: 3/5
