The Wilderness of Manitoba prefers to characterize itself as an evolving entity. The band’s most recent album, Between Colours, was as far-reaching as anything in its catalogue. From the band’s inception, it has redefined itself with every album. The evolution of their sound has run the gamut from four part harmonies and chamber folk to cinematic indie rock and anthemic folk rock. In its seven year existence, the band’s ongoing transitions come as a direct result of the wealth of traveling they have done; playing a multitude of festivals and touring in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, the USA and Canada. “The live show,” says Whitwham, “is a constantly evolving portrait of the band and its efforts.” Those efforts were recognized when the Wilderness of Manitoba were nominated for a JUNO. With no intention of slowing down, The Wilderness of Manitoba are currently working on their fifth album.
