Kacy & Clayton announce new album

The 10-song set was produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and recorded by Tom Schick at The Loft, Wilco's recording studio & rehearsal space in Chicago.

"Carrying On" is the follow-up to "Strange Country."

Kacy & Clayton are second cousins, who grew up in Saskatchewan. Musically, they combine folk and Appalachian sounds.

Tweedy said, "When I first heard Kacy and Clayton, I was struck by how much detail and nuance they had absorbed from what sounded like a large swath of my record collection. When I told them that they were as good as the artists they were drawing from, I'm not sure they believed me. On this record I don't hear those influences as much as I hear them taking the things they love so intimately and telling their own story. I think they're a truly great band."

"This album has, by far, the most intense and confident performances we've ever done on record, and I hope that intensity will be felt by the listener," the group said in a statement.

Songs on the CD are:
1. The Forty-Ninth Parallel
2. Carrying On
3. High Holiday
4. In A Time Of Doubt
5. Intervention
6. Mom and Dad's Waltz #2
7. Providence Place
8. The South Saskatchewan River
9. Spare Me Over One More Year
10. That Sweet Orchestra Sound

Kacy & Clayton have also announced a fall tour supporting Ray LaMontagne beginning Oct. 11 in Providence, R.I. They will support Colter Wall throughout May.
