Since releasing their 3rd album, Animalia, in early 2018, Elk Run & Riot have been tearing up western Canada, and in the process winning over scores of new fans with their high-energy brand of alternative folk. And they’ve also been hard at work on their 4th release, Morning Light, which comes out on January 31st, 2020.
Morning Light was written by Ryan Schepens (vocals/guitar), Andrew Cotter (vocals/bass/guitar) and Brian Bailey (mandolin/bass) in one night in a cabin in Golden, BC. The guys went on a songwriting retreat for a night to come up with new material and ended up with enough for an entire album! Morning Light was recorded at Studio D in Calgary, Alberta by Steve Dierkens, who co-produced the album with Elk Run & Riot. The album sees the group growing more as musicians and becoming better songwriters, storytellers, and individuals.
We are thrilled to premiere the title track from the new album below! “Morning Light” is a slice of Americana brilliance, somehow managing to sound fresh and nostalgic in the same breath. We’re excited to be able to share this with you!
In their own words:
“‘Morning Light’ is a fun light hearted song about living in a small town and the friends we make for life. It’s about never regretting a single moment of the time we have, never taking anything for granted, and having fun along the way! Oh and it’s also partially on true events.”
