Awake Music CD

Folly & The Hunters
third album, Awake, was recorded at Torontos Revolution Studios in the summer,
and was produced and mixed by Howie Beck (Hayden, Feist, Barenaked Ladies).
Written primarily while touring across North America and Europe,
Awake sees the band growing from their folk foundations into a polished pop
aesthetic. For band members Nick Vallee, Christopher Fox and Laurie Torres,
heartbreak and loss haunted the delicate music on their acclaimed sophomore
album Tragic Care. Touring Europe and North America
for 2 years in support of the album, the band experienced a much-needed
catharsis and embraced an optimistic outlook - the spirit of which is clearly
evident on Awake. Reflecting on the joys and struggles of life as full-time
musicians, songs like Small Victories and Arrow show the bands clarity and
dedication. On quieter album-closer Science, the bare instrumentation and
humble lyrics explore emotions of commitment and the struggle with mundanity in
day-to-day-life. The recording sessions also solidified the full-time role of
long-time collaborator Phil Creamer, an integral part of the groups live set.
Similar to the other members, Creamers multi-instrumental talents energized
their varied approach to the studio.
