Folly and the Hunter are an indie-folk band from Montréal founded by members Nick Vallee, Laurie Torres, and Christopher Fox with their 2011 self-released debut album Residents. The band recorded their second album with Jace Lasek of The Besnard Lakes at his Breakglass Studio in Montréal and signed to Canadian record label Outside Music to release Tragic Care on April 16, 2013.[1] Tragic Care established the band's detailed hand at crafting "multidimensional folk", and garnered comparisons to Sigur Rós.[2] Folly & the Hunter recorded their 2015 album Awake with Howie Beck at Toronto's Revolution Studios in Toronto and touring member Phil Creamer joined the band as a permanent member.[3]
Folly & the Hunter have toured across Canada, U.S., and Europe, including performances at SXSW,[4] opening for indie-rock band Half Moon Run[5] and The Barr Brothers[6]
