Song of the Day: August 31, 2017 - "Archipelago" by Shred Kelly
It's always fun watching a Canadian band go from writing songs about the town they grew up in, to writing songs about towns they tour in around the world, and the "stoke folk" band from Fernie, Shred Kelly, have combined those two sentiments in their latest release.
The new song is called "Archipelago", and tells "the story of a night spent in the archipelago near Stockholm, Sweden where we had recently visited on our last European tour. We spent a night in a cabin by the sea on the coast of a European country but we couldn't believe how similar it was to Canada; drawing similarities to Northern Ontario. By the time we had left, we had seen a moose, the northern lights, and had been struck with the realization that ‘it was not all that different in the archipelago’."
Also, if you watch the video, there's a brief clip of a karaoke version of this very song, and I am really hoping that was a real thing they are going to release.
