Major Love 'Tear It Down' on new single
Regular RGM readers will need no introduction to Canadian singer-songwriter Colleen Brown who we featured on a UK tour back in 2015. Colleen has teamed up with fellow Canadians Scenic Route To Alaska for a new venture Major Love. The first new music from this partnership is the infectious 'Tear It Down' single with an album due early in 2018. More about the band and the video for 'Tear It Down' follows:
The groove-laden indie pop-rock collective came together over a shared appreciation of vintage Harmony guitars and sing-along pop/rock anthems after they found themselves on the same dimly lit stage in the east end of London, England, 7000 km from their shared hometown of Edmonton. The self-professed “band of bands” mutual respect for each other’s craft, and undeniable musical chemistry quickly evolved to studio time back on Canadian soil and within a month, Major Love had recorded the foundation of their first album together. The rest of their self-titled debut was tracked live off the floor during a summer heat wave in Edmonton’s True North Studios with producer/engineer Jesse Northey (Jesse and the Dandelions). Contributions followed from multi-instrumentalist Elijah Abrams with mixes and co-production by Toronto-based pedal steel guru Aaron Goldstein, along with Kenneth Meehan (Daniel Romano). The resulting 10 tracks thrive at the intersection between Brown’s resonant vocal expression and SRTA’s spirited swagger.
Two of the tracks from Major’s Love’s upcoming LP have already been lauded for their song-craft. “Motherland” - a love-letter to Alberta - won a province-wide songwriting competition held by ATB Financial, while the powerful ballad “I Love All Of You” was a finalist in the international Unsigned Only Music Competitionlast month, in the “Adult Contemporary” category.
