Country Artist Brennen Leigh Announces New Album ‘Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love,’ Out October 3

0

Acclaimed real country artist Brennen Leigh has announced that her highly-anticipated third album for Signature Sounds, Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love will be released October 3rd. Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love is available for pre-save and pre-order here (and vinyl via Bandcamp). 

Indeed, nodding to some of the more cautionary cuts of artists like Lynn, Leigh quickly removes herself from a rubbish romantic relationship in stride on the pedal steel heavy song. Although self-described as a “trashy little tune,” do not discard the wisdom earned from Leigh’s brief suffering by “settling for less than we deserve in love.”

When it comes to Leigh, there is no question. Always and assuredly precise in her ability to craft country music of the highest caliber, her latest album is packed full of playful ear worms, tender tearjerkers and honky tonk quintessence that two steps straight to the heart. Deemed by No Depression as “an adventurous artist wholly and authentically herself,” Leigh embodies classic country that speaks to the heart. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, Leigh’s pure country voice, masterful flatpicking, hard hitting, incisive lyrics and vibrant melodies dazzle.

Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love Tracklist:

1. Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love 

2. Dumpster Diving 

3. Tell Me

Brennen Leigh is an American songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer whose to-the-point storytelling style has elevated her to cult icon status in Europe, Scandinavia, across the United States, South America and the United Kingdom. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it’s easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of greats like Guy Clark, who colorfully endorsed her flatpicking: “Brennen Leigh plays guitar like a motherfucker,” and David Olney, who described her writing as “tender, violent, sentimental, foolish and wise, she is always Brennen. Confident and at ease with herself, without being a jerk about it.”

Alt-Rock Trio The Vidos Drop Sludge Pop Banger “The ICU” Ahead of ‘Future Ex-Husbands’ Tour

0

Vancouver trio The Vidos return with new single “The ICU.” Known for their signature, and uniquely crafted sludge pop sound, this single is a self-deprecating, slow-burning alt-rock smasher. Riding the momentum of their 2023 EP Right in the Tuchus!, and debut record Right in the Kisser!, “The ICU” digs into the group’s raw vulnerability with equal parts existential crisis and Weezer-style sarcasm. What starts off with soft acoustics quickly swells into gritty, fuzz-washed guitar layers and pure headbanging awesomeness.

Written in a New Year’s resolution haze, “The ICU” began as a janky acoustic riff that came to frontman Brett Hornall in a dream. As he was brushing his teeth (without flossing), it came together.

Starting August 15th, The Vidos are getting hitched on “The Future Ex-Husbands” Canada tour. The tour kicks off in Regina, SK and wraps in Victoria, BC, this September. Tickets are available at THIS location.

Tour Dates:

August 15 – Regina, SK @ O’Hanlans
August 16 – Saskatoon, SK @ Amigos Cantina
August 17 – Medicine Hat, AB @ Local
August 20 – Calgary, AB @ Rec Room
August 22 – Edmonton, AB @ Rec Room South
September 19 – Victoria, BC @ Wicket Hall
