Released in May, New Inheritors is 12 new songs, including the singles "Black Camera" and the title track. The album was produced by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian) and recorded in Montreal, though the songs came together while extensively touring North America, Europe and Asia.
The Globe and Mail said, "Grand, dramatic tension comes from the Halifax rockers who pair Verve-like strings and staccato guitar riffs with words about an all-consuming condition. This thing hits like a heart attack on heroin."
Metro News said, "Wintersleep have finally made their masterpiece."
Wintersleep have been on the road since their critically-acclaimed 2007 release Welcome to the Night Sky. The band received New Group of the Year at the 2008 JUNO Awards and a 2008 MuchMusic Video Award for their "Weighty Ghost" video.
Montreal's The Besnard Lakes are out in support of their latest release The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night.
The Chicago Tribune said, "The Besnard Lakes make music to get lost in, a rapturous sound that invites comparison to the dense studio recordings of Phil Spector and the Beach Boys."
