“The singing is never short of heavenly as (they) soar through rich choral arrangements that often sound eerily like Simon and Garfunkel or Crosby, Stills, and Nash. The Wilderness of Manitoba sound simply breathtaking.” – No Depression “lumberjackily-attractive” – Brooklyn Vegan“It’s totally modern yet captivatingly anachronistic at the same time” – Time Out Chicago “achingly poignant” – MTV Hive“The Wilderness of Manitoba drew me in and had me searching the depths of the internet to uncover all their output I could.” – Muzzle of Bees “[T]he small embellishments of their instrumentation and the honestly of their vocals on When You Left the Fire certainly put them at the top of their game.” – TheWildHoneyPie.com “Think early Joni Mitchell and the first Crosby, Stills & Nash album, and you’ve got one of the prettiest, most wistful albums of the year. Highly recommended.” – Toronto Star “When You Left the Fire is a stunner from beginning to end and should be regarded as one of the year’s best debut albums.” – Pop Matters “When You Left the Fire is a phenomenal collection of songs perfect for a relaxing afternoon all year round.” – Eye Weekly “[T]he folk band made you realize how beautiful music can be.” – Patch “Despite its roots in the urban landscape of Canada’s largest city, the group evokes a rust colored rural feel.” – CMJ “Wilderness of Manitoba’s rich harmonies might make them the next folk act to break through into the charts.” [named one of best bands currently touring as support acts] – CultureMob.com “[O]nce you realize the genius of these songs you could have this album on repeat for a long, long time.” – Grayowl Point “When You Left the Fire is the band’s first full-length album and it’s a slow-burning, ear-bending gem. Sad and sweet and winsome, [its ]reminiscent of Neil Young’s Harvest, but it is fresh and vibrant rather than nostalgic.” – The Record “And while it may seem ambitious to lump an up-and-coming band from Canada in with one of the best American acts around, the Wilderness of Manitoba exhibit many of the same qualities that make The Low Anthem so special…. I am itching to see these guys live.” – Hear Ya |
