Winnipeg alt-rockers Jamboree have signed to House of Wonders Records, and today sees the trio announce their first release for the label. Their sophomore record Life in the Dome is arriving April 1, and along with the announcement, they've shared its first single "The Snow."
The new track is a corroded tangle of guitar, striking a balance between Slint's meticulous creep and the towering enormity of Built to Spill. You can check it out below.
In a statement about the upcoming record, Jamboree drummer Alex Braun said:
[The Dome is] like feeling isolated from the world at large in Winnipeg, but also feeling some sort of community with the people immediately around us, especially during the pandemic when we were all stuck alone together.
But it's also an embrace of the idea that the worst is always around the corner, this feeling that if we're gonna get killed by a deadly virus and then destroyed by climate disasters, why don't we make our own disaster and elect some idiot to trap us in a dome?
"I love Jamboree," said House of Wonders founder Adam Fuhr. "I admire their approach to music-making as an artistic endeavour, while retaining a sense of humour and ease. Their music is catchy and personal and meaningful, and they're great live. I'm so excited to have them join the House of Wonders family."
