Here’s something that’s worth more than a one-track share. In fact, I suggest you pick up the entire collection.

If you’ve dabbled in The Hold Steady much, you might already know and love Wintersleep. If you’re just a casual listener (like moi) or if you just haven’t heard their stuff yet, then listen up. You’re missing out! Man, I hate missing out on great music. It’s a good thing we have a general tMiM email for useful announcements like: they’re touring together.

It only takes a few songs from Wintersleep’s Juno Award winning album Welcome to the Night Sky to get hooked. Their follow up album sounds pretty good, too… Not sure I like it quite as much, but I plan to have at least 3 or 6 more listens before I make any formal declarations.

Either way, my gut’s telling me that this tour should lock in a lot of new fans for them. The Hold Steady has quite the loyal and enthusiastic following. A great pairing indeed.

Here are two tracks to get you started. “Weighty Ghost” from Welcome to the Night Sky, and the title track to their recent release, New Inheritors.

Everyone say, “Thank you Nova Scotia!”
