NIGHTWOOD is a heavy, dark but totally fun rock trio from Montreal. The band have recently released their first full-length album, Carta Marina, entirely independently and have been touring in Eastern Canada to support the record. Like a ship in a bottle, Carta Marina is a carefully crafted rock album teeming with oceanic themes and nautical imagery.
CARTA MARINA is a ten-song album in the truest sense of the word: the release formats are exclusively 12” vinyl LP and digital download with songs that are thematically dense and laden with deep-sea imagery. Carta Marina features drums that thump, elliptical riffs that crash-land rather than end, fuzzy waves of guitar, and voices that call out to each other. Carta Marina’s songs are like sailors lying snug against each other below deck, whispering stories about life at sea, a bottle passed back and forth, adrift amidst oceanic rock and roll.
“Another gem from Montreal. I mean wow Montreal I bow down to the talent that you consistently give us.” - NXNE 2009 show review, North by East West
“Their DIY ethic draws similarities in my opinion to the North-Western Olympia, WA, K Records scene, drawing influences from punk and playing pop music with an edge.” - NXNE 2009 show review, For the Records
"They're a band (with) an art and style blog! Montreal's own Nightwood prove their 21st century mettle." - Salon 7
“Nightwood: Montreal’s own take on the lovely lady-smacked scene of dark, moody rock.” - Nightlife Magazine
“Instead of jamming each chord with enough synth to short a fuse, Nightwood prefer simple, unfettered guitars, dual female vocal work and strong, incisive songwriting.” - Hamilton View + Niagara Pulse

Nice to meet you! NxEW.ca (North by East West) is a group blog covering Canadian music. At this point we have 105 writers covering 30 Canadian cities in 10 provinces and 1 territory. We hope to add many, many more contributors in our ongoing effort to bring together Canada's varied music scenes in one place to share ideas and information, to talk about what's going on locally and what's going on nationally. If you think you might want to contribute read this. Even if you are involved in the 'music business' (musicians, managers, promters etc.,) you are more than welcome. (details here.)
We also have a weekly Mixtape Podcast - if you have music that you'd like to submit for that, get in touch.
