Alberta indie folk rock group Elk Run + Riot are excited to announce the release of their fourth full-length album Morning Light, out today on all digital music platforms. They will also be touring in support of the album starting on February 14th in Field, BC. See below for full tour schedule.

Morning Light was written by Elk Run + Riot in one night in a cabin in Golden, BC. The guys went on a songwriting retreat for a night to come up with new material and ended up with enough songs for an entire album! With this album, the band really tried to create a sound that is as true to their live sound as possible. 

"We feel like oftentimes artists tend to lose a bit of themselves in the studio, creating something that by the end of the project sounds nothing like how they actually sound, and we always try to be as honest with our fans as we can," says vocalist/guitarist Ryan Schepens. "This album was written in one night and recorded live off the floor in just two days and we are super proud of the end result. We hope our fans enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!”

Morning Light was recorded at Studio D in Calgary, Alberta by Steve Dierkens, who co-produced the album with Elk Run + Riot. The album touches on things like addiction, love/friends lost, growing up, and he many times they’ve been crammed in the back of a Dodge Caravan for weeks and months at a time just trying to make a name for themselves.

Formed in 2013 in Canmore, AB, with each release Elk Run + Riot have consistently built on their strengths—three and four-part harmonies and a no-nonsense group mentality reminiscent of The Band. Since releasing their 3rd album Animalia in early 2018, Elk Run + Riot have been tearing up western Canada, and in the process winning over scores of new fans with their high-energy brand of alternative folk.

Elk Run + Riot’s new album Morning Light is available NOW on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services. For more information and the most up-to-date tour listings, please visit: elkrunriot.com
