Little Hell

City and Colour

Reverb-soaked folk recorded in a converted church. Dallas Green’s crystalline falsetto floats over warm acoustic picking and unexpected, bluesy electric grit.

June 7, 2011 · Dine Alone Records

Find on Amazon

A heavy, resonant solitude that finds beauty in the friction of everyday life.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp, rhythmic electric guitar bite that breaks the acoustic spell on Fragile Bird.
The mournful cello entrance on Northern Wind that anchors the delicate vocal melody.
The way the final track Hope for Now builds into a crashing, cathartic wall of sound.
