Recorded 23 February 2018, in Ottawa, in the Kitchissippi watershed, Algonquin territory.

released April 16, 2018

Tim played nylon-string guitar, banjo, cardboard box kickdrum and footjingle, and sang.

Chrissy played steel-string guitar, accordion, tin flute, harmonica, tenor guitar, all the solos, and sang.

The audience sang along, asked questions, shared comments and knowledge, and even laughed at our jokes.

All the songs were traditional, and arranged by Wychwood. Lyrics, chords, and manifestos:

"A lot of what people do in music and performance is a cop-out. They’re just afraid of what they are, and they want to be seen as something bigger and more magical than what they are. So they do extra things – you know, they have extra layers of vocals in recordings or they have a bunch of stage business, or lighting, or costumes, and all that kind of stuff. All of that stuff is a product of the fear of being exposed."
— Steve Albini

about

Wychwood Ottawa, Ontario

We're a duo (Chrissy Steinbock & Tim Kitz) who identify only half-jokingly as “the world’s first blackgrass band.” We both sing & play guitar or banjo, while mixing in accordion, bass, saw, dobro, harmonica, glockenspiel, etc. Some days we’re acoustic purists. Some days we like to corrupt traditional folksongs with bits of black metal, ambient, & noise, trying to make folk music dangerous again. ... more

Putting the Sky to Sleep
by Seth Martin and the Menders

Seth's an old friend, tourmate, and inspiration who makes great folk music. A kind of 21st century Woody Guthrie – rooted in tradition but searching for justice in the present. Wychwood

Untethered With You
