Ketch Harbour Wolves
Album: Dead Calm Horizon  
Label: Independent
Rating: *** 1/2

With The National garnering so much praise these days, it was only a matter of time before a similar sounding Canadian act got noticed.

Ketch Harbour Wolves, a Toronto-based five-piece with roots in Nova Scotia (their band is named after a small East Coast town) have forged the perfect mix of brooding passion, infectious melodies and rich, layered instrumentation.

While it’s not perfect — a couple tunes are a bit sluggish — it’s definitely a promising debut. Two standouts, Letters and Animals, should take this band far enough until they release their likely stellar sophomore effort.
