Review:
Rooted in folk/roots, this four-piece led by primary songwriter Eden Oliver pushes a few boundaries. It's kind of what folk should be these days -- still paying tribute to its origins, but talking current issues (Enbridge, track 1, track 8, LGBTQ) and social activism. Vaguely poppy sometimes. Uses mandolins and accordions liberally.
