The Deep Dark Woods
The Deep Dark Woods

Press

“often compared to other Canadian artists like The Band, Gordon Lightfoot and Neil Young, The Deep Dark Woods have worked hard to create a loose, grungy folk sound that—for all its references to the past—is increasingly their own.”

Paste • 03/2013

“For years, haunting ballads and rousing stompers that sound like they’ve been pulled from the darkest depths of history have been the bread and butter for Saskatchewan quintet Deep Dark Woods.”

Vice Noisey • 11/2014

“…an invigorating new restoration that finds them sounding more patient, intricate and contemplative than they’ve ever been… a single listen is enough to create a spellbinding experience. 9/10”

“Perhaps finding inspiration in the dark, moody delivery of groups like the Handsome Family and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, with Yarrow the Deep Dark Woods have released the closest thing Canada has to a fully fleshed-out Southern gothic fable.”
