The Douglas Fir

A monumental debut album with vivid lyrical narratives and spectacular
songwriting. The Fir may share similar influences to NYC early 80's revivalists
Interpol, Longwave and The Walkmen. But they beat those groups to the punch.
Don't miss out on this one!
-The Big Takeover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Douglas Fir fill an entire disc with gorgeous
claustrophobic melancholy pop. The band recreates the somber ennui of those
old Smiths, Cure and Nick Cave albums, while giving them a slightly more lucious
sonic bed to lounge in, complete with astonishing power and moody atmospherics.

The Fir have a distinct flair for the melodramatic.
The band shows particular promise.
-Magnet Magazine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Douglas Fir have a flair for the cinematic. They make music
that has the chiming grandeur and air of mystery that surround highly literate,
lyrically romantic bands such as the Smiths, Aztec Camera, and the Go-Betweens.
-The Boston Globe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boston's Douglas Fir are very promising. The band shows off edgy
pop muscle without covering up its melodies.

The Douglas Fir play cinematic, subversive, underground pop.
The Fir has shared the stage with many folks including Grant Lee Phillips, The Church, Calla, The Wrens, Pernice Brothers, Pinback, Rob Dickinson, Film School, The South, Metric, Her Space Holiday, and Cobra Verde to name just a few.
