The Wooden Sky traces its roots back through the winter of 2003, when with a collection of songs under his arm, Gavin Gardiner began to seek out musical collaborators to help bring his sketches out from the bedroom and onto the stage. It was soon after the first snow fall that Andrew Wyatt and Chris Cocca joined Gardiner and began to flush out ideas that would become their first EP. It was only after they had finished this record that they realized it possible to put their newfound interests on display. Moving from a makeshift studio and into Gardiner’s garage in downtown Toronto, a place the three had come to call home only the year before, they began the plot to share their amateurish themes with others.
Certainly much has changed since those formative years huddled around space heaters and dodging noise complaints. Gone are the songs they began as teenagers and gone even is the name, Friday Morning’s Regret, with which they had branded themselves. In its place stands the Wooden Sky, with new fulltime and moonlighting members Simon Walker, Anissa Heart and Andrew Kekewich. When Lost at Sea, the Wooden Sky’s debut LP, was originally released in February 2007 to a sold-out Horseshoe Tavern and reveals the band arranging fragile folk songs in a context that has drawn comparison to such modern acts as the Great Lake Swimmers, Neutral Milk Hotel and Okkervil River.

It took me half a year to find out the name of this band. More than worth it, though.
