strangers & exiles

Full-length Sophomore Record -12 new songs

Strangers and Exiles was released by MapleNationWide/Universal and is in record stores across Canada

"Not a sound has been overlooked, and nothing is misplaced on 'Strangers & Exiles'. The complexity of the arrangements is oft times awe-inspiring and mind-boggling, and just grows more so with each listen. Full of surreal imagery, the folding repetition of lyrics adds to the pulsing, melting, and swirling beauty of the beast, for 'Strangers & Exiles' is a living and breathing thing. Welkin are polar opposites of The Mars Volta, yet the closest kin at the same time - a backwards statement that makes sense in the far-off universe that both bands exist in. Both will give fantastic visions, and both will give weird tripped out dreams should a person fall asleep to the otherworldly sounds of their music. Chalk it up to personal experience."

Welkin's Debut Record

"...Welkin takes its art seriously. Every song here shows incredible depth...Birch has the same high, keening voice that's made Thom Yorke and Neil Young two of rock 'n' roll's most unlikely superstars, and the songs he writes seem made for gazing at distant universes from splintered country porches."
