With only a week left until the official release of Federal Light’s new LP, Coeur de Lion, the Winnipeg five-piece is celebrating with a stream of the full album, courtesy of Exclaim!. Produced by Rusty Matyas (Imaginary Cities, Sheepdogs), Coeur de Lion travels through points of pressure, regret, solace, anticipation, and disquiet, without ever losing sight. The album follows up We Were Found In The Fog, which won the Western Canadian Music Award for Aboriginal Recording Of The Year.

Set for release on January 29 via Aporia Records, Coeur de Lion finds a sense of beauty by examining the gravity of everyday moments. A song might be about riding transit and overhearing a kid say something obvious that feels profound; it might be about experiencing the harder edges of city life and the emotional toll that can take. What ties their songs together is hope – in even the most haunting songs there’s a morsel of it. “I find it uplifting that there’s some hope in the saddest of situations,” says frontman Jean-Guy Roy.

Beginning on February 26, Federal Lights takes to the road for a string of tour dates throughout Eastern Canada and Ontario. More tour dates will be announced shortly.

FEDERAL LIGHTS ANNOUNCES COEUR DE LION

WINNIPEG FIVE-PIECE FEDERAL LIGHTS TO RELEASE NEW LP, SHARES NEW VIDEO. COEUR DE LION OUT JANUARY 29 VIA APORIA RECORDS

Winnipeg’s Federal Lights isn’t a love song kind of band. Rather, songwriter Jean-Guy Roy, pens lyrics that yearn for the romantic. Produced by Rusty Matyas (Imaginary Cities, Sheepdogs), Coeur de Lion finds a sense of beauty by examining the gravity of everyday moments. A song might be about riding transit and overhearing a kid say something obvious that feels profound; it might be about experiencing the harder edges of city life and the emotional toll that can take. What ties it all together is hope – in even the most haunting tracks there’s a morsel of it. “I find it uplifting that there’s some hope in the saddest of situations,” says Roy.

Coeur de Lion travels through points of pressure, regret, solace, anticipation, and disquiet, without ever losing sight. The anthemic first single “Into The Ground” brings themes of endurance and resolution to the forefront. “The song talks about the dynamic of relationships. They're a work in progress that can take people to the edge of every emotion conceivable, constantly begging the question, ‘is this worth it’? Ultimately for me, it is, but sadly for a lot of people it isn't. Hopefully this song can at least offer some understanding.”

Coeur de Lion is the follow up to Federal Lights’ acclaimed Western Canadian Music Award winning debut We Were Found In The Fog.  Canadian tour dates will be announced soon.
