The band's commitment to authenticity is evident in every note they play, inviting listeners into a world of deep reflection and genuine emotion. Beginning on a cold Northcote night, songwriter Matthew Kenneally's vision birthed Canary, evolving from eclectic origins into a unique ensemble. Their debut, 'Dear Universe' (2011), is a neo-folk-infused exploration of longing and spirituality, acclaimed by artists like Gotye and J Walker. Canary's journey continued with accolades such as 'Carried Away' reaching the top 15 in the International Song Writing Competition (2014), judged by icons like Tom Waits and London Grammar. After a creative hiatus, they returned in 2015 with singles 'Women’s Business' and 'Here We Go' from 'I Am Lion,' capturing attention from triple j and international listeners. This album reflects Kenneally’s personal growth, mirroring his cognitive and emotional journey. Canary is set for more 2024 performances, bringing their innovative sound to captivated audiences. Anticipation builds for their upcoming third album, promising a groundbreaking experience that redefines and transcends expectations. Canary's evolution continues, offering a musical journey of introspection and catharsis.
