FUNERAL LAKES

[localundergroundmusicreview]

Golden Season by Funeral Lakes EP Review

7.5/10

Indie folk with carefully crafted lyrics, consistent guitar and drums, and some surprising elements that keep it interesting. The third song on the EP, Power Trip, is straight punk rock out of nowhere but it is really good; spices up the project as a whole and makes you wonder more about this Canadian duo…

“Funeral Lakes is Sam Mishos (she/her) and Chris Hemer (he/him). They started the project in the spring of 2018, self-producing music in their apartment in Vancouver, B.C., and now in Toronto, ON.

The duo’s emotionally charged songs create a musical world where they lead listeners by the hand through the destruction all around us, asking them to bear witness and take pause as they get lost in the dream — or nightmare.”

RIYL: Jadu Heart, Jealous of the Birds, Hailaker

Our new EP Golden Season is out today, available on bandcamp and all streaming services ✺ (link in bio) The golden season is a period of transition. A period of reflection. A time to hold dear the things we love. The gentle glow of foliage before the fall, the sunset years of life as we know it, and the distant glimmer of hope that we might find a path forward. We hope these songs resonate with you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6rcWOgz9d/?igshid=1nrw2x13b7fgl

Our debut album is now available exclusively by donation (PWYC) — one week ahead of its wide release! . All donations are being doubled until December 3rd, so if you feel like rocking out early and contributing to a great cause, this is your chance! . *LINK IN BIO* . . We started Funeral Lakes in the spring of 2018 as way to process feelings and experiences in our lives, many of which are rooted in the current climate crisis we find ourselves in. Our self-titled album reflects on the present and what perhaps lies ahead . We all deserve a future with thriving communities, good jobs, and a healthy environment. Organizations such as @raven_trust empower the communities fighting for that future . . #cdnpoli #protectthesacred #bcpoli #raventrust #StopTMX #NoTankers #TransMountain #pulltogetherbc #notmx #indigenoussovereignty #nopipelines #climatejustice #protestmusic #newmusic #indiemusic #folkmusic #indierock #folkrock #alternativemusic #altrock #DIYmusic #bedroomrock #bedroompop #funerallakes https://www.instagram.com/p/B5iVKqgAsKs/?igshid=h1irq3xyst8k
