Northern duo release self-titled album

Jul 26, 2021 | 5:08 PM

Two northern musicians are anticipating the release of their debut self-titled album Set to Flames on all major platforms Tuesday.

“I’m super proud of everything we have done so far and I’m so excited to finally be able to have something tangible for people to listen to,” Shelbey Savoie said of the LP she’s releasing with bandmate Troy Patterson. “I really hope people locally enjoy it. If they do take the time to listen to it, I just want to say thank you so much because that’s who have been supporting us the most is people in the La Ronge area.”

The rock album consists of music the band has been producing since coming together in 2015. Savoie explained it has been a slow process, although some songs have been written in the last few months. The duo wrote and recorded all the music themselves.

She expects anyone who is a fan of ’80s or ’90s rock to enjoy the album. Some songs are fast-paced, some are slower ballads and some are inspired by pop. Savoie notes there are also plenty of guitar solos, powerful vocals and catchy choruses.

“Every song on there has been picked apart 100 times and we didn’t decide to release the album until we both thought we had done the absolute best we could on every track,” she said. “We feel it is the best of the best of what we’ve done so far over the last seven years.”
