The Daily Choice: Peter Wolf Crier - Crutch & Cane
Some years back, I had a bit of a brain meltdown, when, for the first time, I heard a little band out of Minnesota called The Wars of 1812. Working at a record label at the time, I shoveled the bands music on to the desk of my boss, threw it any and all who would listen, and generally existed in a blissed-out coma of Wars of 1812 good.
Turning on Jagjaguwar’s new signee Peter Wolf Crier, there was a tinge of familiarity, a hint of softly hidden memory. I thought, “It sounds like Woods, but with a little more cheer.” But it wasn’t thought, it was the vocals, the winding, sunshine-y vocals that brought me back. Back to Peter Pisano, a member of The Wars of 1812.
Now, with cohort Brian Moen, he’s branched out to form Peter Wolf Crier. It’s a bit like a campfire song, a lilting tune to share around the fire, drunk on whiskey and smoke. You can hear it bouncing off the trees, the stars clear in the sky above it.
