"Franklyn Currie is not a new name to me, as I have heard of him many times here in the BC lower mainland... but this was my first time actually hearing him perform, and he is worth tracking down.

"Abbotsford's Franklyn Currie has been a prominent figure of the city's music scene for a while now, and aside from playing in several bands over the years, his folk material has become what he is known for best. This self-titled EP showcases Currie's song writing talent which closely resembles one of his inspirations, Damien Jurado."
"Contributions from other local musicians on bass, drums and electric guitar add a full-flavoured element to each song, and a professional quality that doesn't take away from the sentiments of this DIY project. The music is as laid back as the man himself, and anyone who knows him will know exactly what that means. Also present is the darker, more mysterious side of folk music that fans of the genre can appreciate for its atmospheric vibrancy."
