2013 is looking to be a breakout year for the six-piece Canadian outfit Royal Canoe. The Winnipeg natives just signed with Roll Call Records for the release of a full-length album later this year in the U.S., and they’re gearing up for a heavy few months of touring that include stops at SXSW, dates in the U.S. and Europe, performances with Fol Chen, Of Montreal, ON AN ON and more.
The band garnered serious buzz at the 2012 CMJ Music Marathin, where KCRW named them the “Sleeper Hit” of the festival, stating “their super inventive sound is unbelievably rich and catchy,” and landed on “Best of CMJ” lists from Consequence of Sound, New York Times and more.
