Boreal Sons

'Threadbare' (album stream)

BY Matthew RitchiePublished Sep 24, 2013

Piano-based indie rock outfit Boreal Sons have been lighting up the Calgary music scene for a few years now thanks to a pair of EPs and a string of opening slots in support of fellow Canucks Aidan Knight and We Are the City. But now the art-rocking quartet are ready to step into the limelight with their debut LP, Threadbare, which you can stream in full ahead of its October 1 release.

Produced by Jonathan Anderson — who has also worked with the band's aforementioned touring partners — Threadbare finds the group moving away from the complex narratives of their earlier releases and exploring questions of identity and the pressures of adulthood.

Listen to the album in the player below. Don't forget to catch Boreal Sons on their upcoming Canadian tour, which kicks off later this week.
