“Burs, the Toronto-based folk-rock quartet, makes songs shaped by wide influence, and grounded in musical honesty – you can think of them like the small things that stick with you. Embracing experimentation and carving a line that is uniquely their own, this is music that grows wild. Located somewhere between alt-country and freak-folk, Burs’ latest offering is a double single, “Soil/Blackflies,” which was released on Birthday Cake Records on May 7th. Their 2022 debut album Holding Patterns earned praise for its ethereal sound, with single “Lily” featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Rock playlist. They’ve since shared stages with Jake Xerxes Fussell, Hayden Pedigo, and others. Their sophomore album, engineered by Eli Browning (Sister Ray), Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), and Adam Brisbin (Big Thief), arrives in fall of 2025.”
