The first reviews roll in...

Hi everyone,

Well, the first reviews of the new album are in and we're liking the tone! First up we have a great blog out of Florida, U.S.A. called Absolute Powerpop. Here's what they had to say;

"Lotta Lies" takes their sound into indie pop territory, as the double-tracked harmonies recall The Pernice Brothers; "Don't Leave, Don't Go" is a bright, upbeat pop number with a touch of melancholy, and "The Big Bay" has a Posies-like sweep. "Nature of Your Game" is straight-up Americana, in the manner of Joe Pernice's solo masterpiece "Bum Leg", and "I Was There" brings us full circle to Teenage Fanclub's more pensive moments. Wonderfully melodic, there's nothing in "decline" about Elvyn's sound and they've got a definite top 10 of '10 contender on their hands." - Read the rest of the review.

And to follow that here's what the One Chord To Another music blog all the way from Finland(!!!!) thought;

"It’s 3 am here in Finland and I’ve been trying to go to bed for an hour now. But I’m finding it hard to stop listening to Elvyn. It’s a Canadian pop group that I found tonight. They have a new album out and you can listen to it on their website... I was just so excited about them that I had to get this out of my chest and make a quick entry. This is simply fantastic music and I’m already in love with Elvyn." - Read the rest of the review.

High praise indeed! Thanks a lot to our new American and Finnish friends, and we'll keep you updated as news comes in!

Elvyn @ NxNE!

Hey guys,
Big news! We're going to be playing NxNE this year as part of a showcase at The Comfort Zone organized by a couple of great friends of ours, Dan Burke and Matt Holtby (of Champion Heartache fame).

Stay tuned for details on the lineup as we get them...

New show dates in May

Hey there kids! We've got a couple of show dates for you in May. We're going to play an afternoon all-ages show with Hamilton folk-rock group The Ophelia Syndrome on May 1st at The Spill Coffee bar in Peterborough at 2:30pm.

Then we're heading out to a band favorite, The Jimmy Jazz in Guelph on May 15th. Doors at 9:30m, and we'll keep you posted with the rest of the lineup.


Things are moving along fast here at Little Wagon Music, with the disc winging it's way to magazines, websites and labels as far afield as California, Madrid, Holland, the U.K., New York and France! We're super happy with the response we've had so far from everyone from fans to publications and beyond, and we'll keep all of you up to date with reviews and features as they happen.

Dates for The Decline Tour in the fall will also be forthcoming, so keep an ear to the ground (and by "ground" we of course mean "teh interwebs!").

Thanks for all the support, and we'll see ya soon!
