\"1971\"<\/p>\n

Before introducing you to the music of Northwestern Ontario-based band 1971<\/a><\/strong>, we first must delve into this area’s rugged beauty. For that, we defer to Montreal artist, musician and writer Kate Erickson<\/a><\/strong>, who reviewed the band’s self-titled EP<\/a><\/strong> in 2010. She begins the piece with this introduction:<\/p>\n

The landscape of Northwestern Ontario has a weight to it; from the ancient mass of the Canadian Shield underfoot to the ponderous silence of the boreal forest, there’s something about this region that naturally conveys a sense of heaviness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is from a place of heaviness and great beauty that 1971 releases the song “Anxiety (In the Depths of Northwestern Ontario).” It was written for their friend, bassist and founding member of the band, Cameron Glen Cranston, who passed away in February at the age of 25.<\/p>\n
