Edmonton band Manraygun’s latest release, Misfortune Telling, is a confident set of songs that walk the line between roots rock and alt-country. The band, popular on Canadian college radio, has no problem moving from a gritty rock song and then following it up with a slow ballad. This back-and-forth is somewhat jarring. However, the skilled musicianship of Dennis and Steve Lenarduzzi, Everett LaRoi, Tom Murray, and Silas Grenis really comes through. These guys just sound comfortable playing together, which is something that pays off in their live performances. – Written by DBosket
