about

Whether it’s with wailing electric guitar, scuttling honky-tonk piano, sweet harmonies or lyrics that span from emotionally honest narratives, to quirky and irreverent romps, The Cannondolls’ five-track EP “Crumbs” is an alt-country joyride, with accents of power-ballad pop, doo-wop, ragtime and Americana folk.

Building on her 2011 recording “Caitlin Cannon and the Artillery,” Cannon finds lyrical and melodic maturity on the EP with the help of co-writer Kate Willyard, their first collaboration and the first time working with producer Andy Rok, founding member of The Flobots (Denver, CO).

At the heart of “Crumbs EP” are musical contradictions--a string of surprising lyrical and melodic juxtapositions: The struggle and remorse heard in "Bed on Fire” and “Diamonds and Gold", tracks that were intended as soulful murder ballads, ultimately became power anthems with driving rhythms and chipper melodies. And, paradoxically, when singing of misery and despair in the final tracks "Pain" and "Way To Go," the lyrics, harmonies and melodies point to an underlying optimism.

For fans of Shovels and Rope, First Aid Kit, Brandie Carlisle, The Dixie Chicks, Miranda Lambert, Jenny Lewis, Tift Merritt, Lindi Ortega, The Wailin' Jennys.
