Album Notes

A Long Dash (followed by ten seconds of silence) is Jake and the Leprechauns’ sophomore effort, and it picks up where the previous one left off. The album was recorded by Arlen Thompson (of Wolf Parade), and the band, and mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Islands, Beirut). It features guest appearances by Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco), Andy Creeggan (Barenaked Ladies), and Jeremy Strachan (Feurmusik, The Sea Snakes). Their self-titled, debut album was critically acclaimed by the local and international press, as well as nominated for a series of honors and prizes.

The band continues its sonic and textural exploration with an album that is at once challenging, refreshing and comforting.

REVIEWS

Take a bit of Sufjan Stevens, a taste of Wilco, and a smattering of My Morning Jacket, and filter it through a Quebecois group of multi-talented musicians and you get this admirable new album from Jake and the Leprechauns. It's filled with great songs and singing, impeccably recorded by Arlen Thompson (of Wolf Parade), and the band, and mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Islands, Beirut).
