The Newfound Interest in Connecticut was/is a band from Toronto that took elements of various different genres and created something that at times maybe wasn't perfect, but always passionate. There is a certain air of youthful energy on "Tell me About The Long Dark Path Home" that makes some of the mistakes, missed notes and sloppiness mean that much more to the listener. Music is a living breathing creature with a heart and soul that is fucked up and rough and raw; this record is all those things. It feels alive. Records like this remind me why I love DIY/independent music so much. There are no contrived notions of fame or fortune, just really rad music made with honesty, love and respect. It's interesting to listen to a band and know NOTHING about them. I don't know who was in this band, what they played, what they went on to play....the mystery sort of adds to the entire experience.
