Compared to the sincerity of Bob Dylan and the eccentric, creative honesty of Conor Oberst and M. Ward, Ottawa’s very own KALLE MATTSON is slowly becoming a popular name in Canadian music thanks to an instrumental talent and voice that’s rare, revealing and candid. A day after his CMW 2012 gig in Toronto, we met up with Kalle Wainio and co. who performed two new songs straight from their catalogue, echoing an open youthfulness that’s quietly crawled over their work from the beginning (Telescope EP) to pieces of work that resonate today (Anchors).
The group’s upcoming EP Lives In Between can be found via Parliament Of Trees // iTunes | Bandcamp
