Alister Johnson Remix Of Shift By The Wilderness Of Manitoba Premieres Today
Live In Limbo premieres roster mate Alister Johnson’s remix of our track Shift today. Johnson says that, when he first heard the track Shift, the producer/remixer was drawn to the vocal melody and knew that he could expand on the song by re-contextualizing the sound. “I wanted to take it away from the acoustic / live sound and bring it into the analog synth / drum machine world. I feel that it worked out, but apologize to Alex Lifeson that his guitar solo from the original version didn’t make the remix!” It will be available on iTunes and Spotify this Friday, June 10th through our good friends the Confidence Emperors. By sheer coincidence, we are playing a show at the Monarch Tavern in Toronto on Friday so come out and hear some of the new songs that we have recorded for our new album!

The Wilderness Of Manitoba Celebrates Completion Of New Album
Back in December, the Wilderness of Manitoba played a weekly residency at the Dakota Tavern to test drive fifteen new songs that they were planning to record for their fifth album. The successful shows and the positive response from the audiences energized the band going into the studio. With the same line-up that toured with Elliott Brood over a year ago, Will Whitwham (vocals/guitars/keyboards), Raven Shields (vocals, guitar), Tavo Diez de Bonilla (bass) and Mike Brushey (drums/percussion) entered Union Sound in January and cut the bedtracks in three days. Since then, they have been recording overdubs in Whitwham’s home studio and mixing with Matthew Fudge at Revolution Recording and Dan Weston at his studio.
To celebrate the completion of the album, the Wilderness of Manitoba will be playing a special show at the Monarch Tavern on Friday, June 10th. Come and see the band play the new songs live, and get a sneak peek of how the album is shaping up. Not all fifteen songs will make the album so this will be a great chance for people to share their favourites with the band. “The live show,” says founding member and main songwriter Whitwham, “is a constantly evolving portrait of the band and its efforts.”
When: Friday, June 10th
Where: the Monarch Tavern, 12 Clinton Street, Toronto M6J 2N8
Doors: 9:00 PM
Tickets: $12 in advance, $15 at the door
