Canadian rock band Whitehorse is unafraid to mix genres, regularly dipping into psychedelic Americana, pop noir, squalling blues rock, and celestial folk. The partnership of Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet, Whitehorse has pushed their eccentric musical identity into new realms and sounds for over a decade. With five consecutive JUNO Award nominations in three different genre categories, and seven full-length records to their name, it’s clear these rockers do a lot of different things, and do them well.

Husband-and-wife duo McClelland and Doucet were already individually established as singer-songwriters when they came together to form Whitehorse. Based in Hamilton, Ontario, both are masterful guitar players and multi-instrumentalists. On their new record I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying, Whitehorse venture deeper into classic country music touchstones than ever before, a move that is both a homecoming and an evolution of their sound. The songs are playful yet profound, masterfully simple and timeless.
