On their fourth full-length album UNCLE!, Vancouver indie rock jazz art folk instrumentalists Pugs & Crows join forces with vocalist Marin Patenaude.

Patenaude’s earthy, soulful voice coupled with the band’s trademark cinematic pacing, melodicism, and gritty elegance transports the music to new heights.

The album also features a venerable line-up of guest musicians: Chris Gestrin (Moogs, electronics, string arrangements), Mike Schmidt (drums), Tony Wilson (guitar, harmonica, string arrangements), Josh Zubot (violin), John Kastelic (viola), Peggy Lee (cello), and Debra-Jean Creelman (vocals).

UNCLE! was produced by Chris Gestrin with Cole Schmidt and recorded by John Raham at Afterlife Studios in Vancouver.
