I don’t usually like to read up on an album or artist until my first real listen through is finished, but Demons was a little different. Demons is the second release of a four album and 18 month project call The Nomad Series. The first album, titled Renmin Park, was written by Cowboy Junkies lead man Michael Timmins about his experience in China. Demons is actually a cover album of the late Vic Chestnutt, an associate of the band who passed away in late 2009. That being said, this is a pretty fantastic album. Margo Timmins’s voice is probably one of the best I have ever heard. It’s fierce and confident but also has such a great, almost haunting, sound. From gritty guitar-driven melodies to soft acoustic and piano match-ups, Demons is strong and the band as a whole is solid. This is one of the strongest albums so far this year.
