¦ Tragic Care was produced by Dave Smith and Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes) at Breakglass Studios and was mastered by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire, Half Moon Run, Barr Brothers). Lyrically, the songs on Tragic Care explore the emotional fallout after a breakup. During the short, intense 12 day recording and mixing of the album the band also experienced the loss of several family members. The grief, darkness, and longing heard on the album are very real. Tragedy paired with striking harmonies results in a bittersweet, evocative album.
¦ From the band: “The name ‘Folly & The Hunter’ is tied into the subject matter of the songs – exploring the ever present absurdity of searching for a satisfaction that can never be found. We hope the listener will reflect upon their own experience, or find some peace with how necessarily messy the human experience can be.”

Description in french:
¦ En provenance du Canada, un autre album d'Indie pop folk, sans doute plus rock que celui proposé juste avant. A découvrir.

REVIEW
Apr 15 2013 | By Melody Lau
¦ If Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós buried themselves deep in the rural crevices of Canada, they'd re-emerge as Folly and the Hunter. This Montreal folk trio have an incredibly detailed hand for crafting musical landscapes, as evident in second album Tragic Care. Produced by the Besnard Lakes' Jace Lasek, who is no stranger to creating moving atmospheric works with his group, Folly and the Hunter have constructed a warm soundtrack to their many musical influences. The layered build of "Our Stories End" is a slow dance companion to Sigur Rós's cinematic masterpieces, whereas "Moth in the Porch Light" circles the same banjo-led campfire as fellow Canadian folk act Wilderness of Manitoba. Tragic Care is multidimensional folk at its loveliest, showing the range of a genre that's often viewed as one-dimensional. This album hints towards something more though and if this is just the tip of the iceberg, bigger and better things are surely in store for Folly and the Hunter.
