JUNO AWARD WINNING DUO CROWN LANDS RELEASE THEIR FIRST LIVE RECORD, ODYSSEY VOLUME 1 TODAYLIVESTREAM KICKS OFF HEADLINING SHOWS ACROSS ONTARIOOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Universal Music Canada 02 DECEMBER 2021 (TORONTO, ON) – Today, Juno Award-winning, powerhouse rock duo Crown Lands – Cody Bowles (vocals and drums) and Kevin Comeau (guitar, bass, and keys) – celebrate songs from their emergent discography with the release of their first ever live album, Odyssey Volume 1, available now through Spinefarm Records and Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The nine-track album was recorded live off the floor at Universal Music Canada's new performance space, The Academy at 80A and includes tracks from their self-titled debut album (2020), their sophomore EP Rise Over Run (2017) and the recently released White Buffalo (2021), see the full track listing below. The live session was filmed and premiered to a global audience on November 18 to a global audience as a virtual concert hosted across Louder Sound platforms including Classic Rock, Metal Hammer, Louder and Prog Magazine. Odyssey Volume 1 allows fans to experience Crown Lands music in its rawest form while showcasing the masterful musicianship of the duo have perfected to make their grandiose sound. Conceptualizing the project, the band drew inspiration from some of their most idolized records, explaining, “the art of capturing a pure performance and pressing it on vinyl mostly unedited is something lost in this era of quantized beats and harmonically perfect (and sterile) virtual instruments. Some of the most important records in our lives would probably not be able to be released today. Allman Brothers at Filmore East, The Who Live at Leeds and Rush’s All the World’s A Stage set the bar for what a band can do!” Crown Lands continue, “we wanted to establish ourselves as a true live rock band early on in our career the way those guys did. We decided we’d also film it and release the show as a complete document of who are while we were at it. There are missed cues, bum notes and solos that go on too long. Exactly the way it should be.” Crown Lands are winding down their final Ontario headlining tour dates of The Big Wave Tour playing the Bronson Centre in Ottawa and a sold-out show in Montreal this Saturday. Details below. “Odyssey Volume 1 is our small contribution to the pantheon of live records. Unfortunately, we couldn’t film & record it with the energy of a live audience due to covid but that makes a live document even more important. So many people have missed out on their first concert this year” Odyssey Volume 1 Track Listing: “THE BIG WAVE” 2021 TOUR DATES AboutABOUT CROWN LANDS Hailing from Southwestern Ontario, powerhouse Canadian rock duo Crown Lands are a startling fresh jolt of energy, making music that brings together a range of influences from folk and blues to psychedelic prog rock. The group’s name is indicative of their musical ambitions: “Crown Land” is territorial area belonging to the monarch—or, as Bowles (whose own heritage is half Mi’kmaw, an Indigenous tribe from Nova Scotia) puts it: “Crown Land is stolen land and we are reclaiming it.”
