THE MINOR CANON RELEASES NEW ALBUM JUNE 2
some tracks can be heard NOW on myspace
The Minor Canon FOLLOWS UP 2007 DEBUT WITH
“EMPTINESS IS FORM”
LOS ANGELES, May 18 - The Minor Canon will debut
“Emptiness is Form,” the band’s second album with a digital release on June 2.
Emphasizing lush and orchestral arrangements,
“Emptiness is Form” deliberately swings and stumbles from seemingly
booze-soaked crescendos to gentle, heartfelt serenades – all set against
Larson’s tender vocals and earnest confessions.
“We wanted this record to be diverse, honest and
flawed, the way records are supposed to sound but rarely do in this digital age
where most everything is slick and sterile,” said Larson.
Regarding his penchant for oft-melancholy lyrics,
Larson says, “There’s no way to quantify feelings. I think this record portrays
that idea: Love, loss, disappointment - and hangovers.”
Following the release of the new album, the band
will be gearing up for a West Coast tour, starting with a headlining
performance at Spaceland in Silverlake, CA on June 2.
