#1 Album of The Year "The Tide and The Current" - Dallas Morning News, Dallas Observer, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Reel Roots (Netherlands)
Sprawling Fort Worth, TX septet write alarming small songs, ornamented with accordion and violin — quiet little alt-country numbers that work their way toward irresistible choruses. - Rolling Stone
Telegraph Canyon...an epic take on Americana that sits as comfortably with Broken Social Scene as it does with Old 97’s, both of whom it’s opened for. - A.V. Austin (The Onion)
The Tide and The Current stands as one of the decade's without-a-doubt best. - Dallas Observer
Telegraph Canyon's new album is a triumph of musical alchemy. - QUICK / Dallas Morning News
Masterful. A thrilling, tightly focused tour de force that spans a range of genres. - Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Ethereal in the way of Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses, The Current steeps its beauty in poignancy and heartbreak. "A Light In The Field" is a soaring piece of space rock with its blistering guitars and Doves-ish vocals. - Radio Free Silver Lake
A soul-bearing, deliberately paced, at-once epic and restrained force, beautifully arranged both in its instrumentation and in its vocal harmonies. A surefire contender for best area release of 2009, the disc more than solidifies the band's rightful place among the region's best. - Dallas Observer
Telegraph Canyon gave the headliners a run for their money, fashioning an explosive set out of material from the just-released The Tide and the Current. Frontman Chris Johnson, alternating between banjo and acoustic guitar, led the seven-piece, Fort Worth-based combo through songs stormy and stunning. Telegraph Canyon, likewise making its Bass Hall debut, displayed a confidence and bombast marking them as stars on the rise. - Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Bass Hall show review)
Spaced out Americana RIYL My Morning Jacket, Centro-matic and Wilco. “Into the Woods” sounds like an introduction–to a record, to a band, to a sound. - One-Track-Mind.com
The band creates an amazing authentic sound wave that makes your eardrum beat like it probably never did before. If you like bands like Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, The Low Anthem or My Morning Jacket, than Telegraph Canyon is major league for you. No question ask this band rocks! - Real Roots Café / Netherlands
On The Tide and The Current, the band has presented the world with a record overflowing with anthemic, passionate alt-country, complete with thick layers of rock and folk that bolster the songs against the naysayers. - Dryvetymeonlyne.com
A release that justifies everything else. The honesty of Neil Young...the open-heartedness of a voice like Joe Cocker. One genius stroke of emotionally powerful and viscerally-jarring music. The Tide and the Current is a worthy listen; don’t let this be one of the releases you miss out on. - Adequacy.net
The Tide and the Current captures a band evolving from first track to last, stepping up and grabbing hold of what is rightfully theirs. In Telegraph Canyon’s case, that might just be the mantle of the region’s most promising act — in any genre. It’s the perfect contradiction: A band very much ingrained in the local scene that, through the sheer force of its art and depth of skill, also stands apart from it. - Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Telegraph Canyon expertly blends the rustic, organic tones of harmonica, viola, organ and acoustic guitar with the technological muscle and intricately processed electronics. - West Coast Performer
They navigate the pre-apocalyptic universe by the light of bright acoustic riffs and to the march of thunderous beats, everything guided by the spirit of frontman Chris Johnson's ominous, the end-is-near lyrics. - Fort Worth Weekly
The space and warmth of early My Morning Jacket. This’ll be the sleeper set this weekend, the one we’ll be talking about Monday morning. - San Diego Reader
If the Arcade Fire were a little more country and a little less Quebecois, the band would sound like fellow apocalyptic ensemble Telegraph Canyon. - Seattle Weekly |

VOLCANO Tour 2010After much worry and doubt we're headed to Europe for tour. The volcano in Iceland threatened to derail the entire deal but at last the ash has subsided and we're cleared to go. Needless to say we can't wait to get there and make some new friends. We'll be back stateside in a couple of weeks for several shows. Hope everyone is well. |
