After last year's stellar release of Vs. Wilderness on Tender Loving Empire, subsequent tours through every town west of the Rockies and a killer stint opening up for Built To Spill on the West Coast, Finn Riggins heads out on tour again. This time their on their way to SXSW, after that they're pointing their van East. If you're yet to hear Vs. Wilderness, need interview time, or guest list, please do let me know!
Feel free to share these two songs and video!
"Wake (Keep This Town Alive)" - MP3
"Dali" - MP3
"Wake (Keep This Town Alive)" - Video
"Finn Riggins uses genre as a stylistic jump rope, dabbling in New Wave synths, odd time signatures, and—especially on songs like lead single “Wake (Keep This Town Alive),” an anthemic stomper and Idahoan cousin to Arcade Fire’s Funeral—plenty of well-placed harmonies." Michael Mannheimer, Willamette Week
"Though you probably wouldn't peg them as recovering hippies after a listen to "Wake," there's no denying that they've carried over the genre's experimentation and energy into something that occasionally wanders into Arcade Fire territory (that is if AF could do what they do with three pieces instead of an indie-rock orchestra)." Chris Kornelis, Seattle Weekly
"This is a band alive, awake and ready to pursue risky territory. Finn's willingness to experiment is central to their appeal." Reyan Ali, City Weekly
