Canola Tenderfoot - Winning Is For Losers

After many years recording and gigging around the UK with other Bristol bands Viki and Owen Shirley got married, retreated to their Bristol home studio and in 2004 began work on a very special and personal project. They called it Canola (the Celtic Goddess of music) Tenderfoot (a novice). And now, three years down the line, Canola Tenderfoot's first album is complete and ready for release on Malicious Damage. With no agenda other than to make the best music they could, Canola Tenderfoot utilised electronics, ambience and real-life instruments to create highly addictive beats, deep melodic grooves and tunes that haunt, heal and uplift. Viki's delicious vocals soar above this musical soundscape with delicately crafted lyrics about love, loss, hope & frustration, tales of joy, of friendships and of getting wasted. Apart from their own music, Canola Tenderfoot have worked with Jon Kennedy, Sweet Laredo and The Porcupine, while Viki has lent her charismatic vocals to artists ranging from Bristol's Beard of Meats to the legends that are Sly & Robbie. TRACKLISTING: Root & Branch, Summum Bonum, Eleven Eleven, Pili Pala, On the Cusp, We Could all be Happy, Time's Table, Another Sorry Tale, What is Good, Home, Spark it Up, No Gold, First Come First Served.
