Lansing, MI based indie folk band Frontier Ruckus is set to release Deadmalls & Nightfalls on July 20th through Ramseur Records. This twelve song follow-up to their 08 debut album The Orion Songbook showcases the lyrically intensive songs of Matthew Milia backed by acoustic versions of traditional folk instruments like the banjo, fiddle, and accordion. Populated with stories of outcasts, the old guard, and people on the edges, Deadmalls & Nightfalls isn’t just about outliers and deterioration, it is a reflection upon and wish for potential unreached. While the tales of urban decay and sad reminiscence on better times long gone may reflect the tragic disrepair of their hometown Detroit, Frontier Ruckus addresses the troubles of a community with bittersweet simplicity, imbuing Deadmalls & Nightfalls full of both melancholy and hope. – Written by JFelton
