Cold Country | Missing the Muse EP

Cold Country has recently released an EP called Missing the Muse. The band itself hails from Chicago and is fronted by Sean McConnell. McConnell and company have actually released three albums all within the last three months Libra (full length), To Providence (full length) and their most recent addition is the EP Missing the Muse.

The amount of harmonica on this EP might bring on some comparisons to Bob Dylan but that is not really the case. If anything though, Cold Country has more of a Neil Young flavor with a bit of Neko Case thrown in to smooth out the edges.  One of the best songs on this EP is Bird of Paradise which opens up with a playful whistle and is filled with soft harmonies that just bring out the underlining emotion that the song is trying to convey.   


A good EP should have a taste of everything good about the band that made it and Cold Country does just that with Missing the Muse.
