DOMESTIC CRISIS GROUP RELEASES NEW SINGLE
July 22, 2011 – 7:00 AM
Domestic Crisis Group (“DCG”), a Montreal based folk-rock duo, released their new single covering Gordon Lightfoot’s ”Song for a Winter’s Night”. DCG was originally invited to record the song for the music blog, Herohill’s, Gordon Lightfoot tribute album.
DCG recorded the single in L.A. with fellow Canadian, Vincent Leslie Jones , who also played on and produced the track with them. Jones is an Emmy nominated songwriter, musician, and producer, whose credits include work with Sarah McLachlan, the Cowboy Junkies and Dave Gahan. Grammy-winning drummer Michael Jerome (Richard Thompson Band, Blind Boys of Alabama, Better than Ezra) also lends his talents to the track.
About Domestic Crisis Group :
Domestic Crisis Group, Dane Ratliff (guitar) and Gen Blouin (vocals), have been getting rave reviews for their self-produced and released debut EP, Two Tired Hearts, and their live shows. DCG recently won a spot as a Finalist in an EMI Music competition. Their song “the Distance” is in rotation on CBC Radio 3, and their EP has charted on campus radio stations across Canada.
DCG’s songs take a modern view of social problems through old-school songwriting, catchy riffs, and a style that’s been dubbed “melancountry”. Blouin’s voice has been compared to Lucinda Williams and Suzanne Vega, and Ratliff’s classically influenced fingerpicking style to Chet Atkins. DCG plans to release a new EP in late 2011.
DCG in the Press :
“The duo crafts absolutely beautiful music. Blouin’s vocals are clean, elegant, and inviting. Meanwhile, Ratliff’s guitar work is as much a product of his Texas background as it is lazy ’90′s acoustic college rock. They’ll convince you to lean back and relax just a moment before shaking you awake with how greatly they pull everything together.” - Ben Conoley (Canadian Musician Magazine)
“Two Tired Hearts is a fantastic, fresh record that deserves a place on more than a few end of year top 10 lists. 9/10″ - Peter Kearns (TO Snob’s Music)
