Dine Alone For his fourth City and Colour outing, Dallas Green has turned up the heat--just a tad. The Hurry and the Harm sports a fuller, more band-centric sound than C&C;'s earliest releases, but an acoustic, featherlight touch is still at the root of it all. Green's wispy falsetto swoops and sashays its way through a dozen songs on the ever-elusive quest for meaning and fulfillment. Not everything on this Nashville-recorded set is airy and shimmery...

Release Date: June 4th 2013 A couple of years ago, I tried my hardest to get into City and Colour, which was the side project of guitarist/vocalist Dallas Green of now-defunct post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. Green left the band in 2011 to focus more on City and Colour, which released its third record, Little Hell, later that year...

Dallas Green says he doesn't care what critics think about his music. From another artist, that might be fronting cliché. But from the guy who left a heavily tattooed post-hardcore band to become a tender singer/songwriter, it seems sincere - he's not concerned with expectations. He does care about songwriting, though, a focus reflected in these 12 tracks of wistful acoustic guitar. There's always something melancholy stirring beneath Green's pleasant melodies...

A corridor of darkness wraps around my car as it shoots down some county two-line road on the backstreets of town. There's no one else around, no one but me, my blue beater of a Chevrolet, and the sounds pouring out of my stereo. It's the summer of 2008, my first summer with a car, my first summer since my siblings moved out, my first summer with any semblance of freedom or responsibility, and it's both the best and worst season of my life...

Dallas Green - whose recording alias is a result of his own name: a city and a color - spent 2011 recording his third studio album Little Hell while still performing with his post-hardcore act Alexisonfire. He had left the group "secretly" though not "publicly", i.e., his bandmates were unaware of his plans to kick things down quite a few notches and turn indie-folk full-time...

City and Colour is many things to many different people. Depending on who you ask, the moniker from which Dallas Green releases his solo albums will imaginably conjure a flurry of, "that guy from Alexisonfire", for his work as the guitarist and background vocalist in the popular post-hardcore band, "Canadian celebrity", on account of his three platinum-certified albums, equal number of Juno award wins, and of course, his relationship with MuchMusic and So You Think You Can Dance host, Leah...

With his newest solo album under the moniker of City and Colour, former Alexisonfire singer/guitarist Dallas Green seems to finally have a record that may allow him to garner more widespread recognition as part of this contingent of folk-inspired pop-rock acts--led by the likes of Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers--that seem to be everywhere these days.
The album in question, The Hurry and The Harm, delivers a notable, although not terribly surprising, shift in sound for Green...
