Eric & The Soo present “She Dreams In Colours” a song that celebrates timeless love and its power to open the hearts and minds of all that come within its blissful grasp. “She sees the world in a different light”, and she shares that beautiful perspective with the singer of the song. True love heals, true love comforts, and it also enhances and expands our appreciation for this beautiful thing called life.

Recorded by veteran engineer John Dinsmore at Toronto’s Lincoln County Social Club, the song features the talents of Ken Yoshioka on electric guitar and harmonica, Tim Bradford on bass, Julian Fauth on piano, James McKie on violin, Dino Naccarato on drums, and Eric Brombacher on acoustic guitar and vocals.”This one ended up having a poignant and uplifting folky sensibility which beautifully supports the lyrics and theme of the song” relates frontman Eric Brombacher.

Written by Eric Brombacher, “She Dreams In Colours” with its mid February release warms our hearts to help carry us through these coldest days of our Canadian winter. We hope that it warms your hearts too.

There’s also an official video to accompany the song. The video features new original artwork by Eric Brombacher plus some vintage artwork from his dear ol’ mom, Annemarie Brombacher. Enjoy it here:

Eric & The Soo’s latest single, the contemplative “Moneytown” examines the loneliness of a man stuck in the hamster wheel of corporate life. The scene is set against the backdrop of an ever changing urban landscape, where history and charm give way to gentrification and corporatization. Our favourite restaurants, bars, and “mom and pop” shops give way to condos, and chain restaurants. In the process, our beloved city loses pieces of its soul. And we lose a part of our soul, and a part of our history too. The brooding lyrics are backed by upbeat instrumentation giving the song a poignant, introspective feel.

Recorded by veteran engineer John Dinsmore at Toronto’s Lincoln County Social Club, the song features the talents of Ken Yoshioka on electric guitar, Tim Bradford on bass, Julian Fauth on keys, James McKie on violin, Dino Naccarato on drums, and Eric Brombacher on acoustic guitar and vocals.”It ended up having a jazzy, groovy feel, setting the perfect tone and mood to support the lyrics. I especially enjoy the interplay between the violin, keyboards, and electric guitar” relates frontman Eric Brombacher.

Written by Eric Brombacher & Ken Yoshioka, “Moneytown” guides us into the moody days of autumn with a release date of September 6th, 2022 on Eastside Confectionery Records. So sit back, press play, and enjoy the vibe, and if it gives you pause, and it makes you think, all the better.

Introducing “Mutterwolf“, the latest single from Sault Ste. Marie, Canada based Kadelburg. For this offering, the eclectic indie garage-rock trio dipped into their heavy metal roots to pen a mythically inspired tale of a Mother Wolf on the hunt for her estranged and troubled son. “Like a wolf on the hunt she flashes her teeth, puts her lipstick on, and steps into the street”, imploring her beloved offspring to come in out of the cold, and to return home. He’s an angry young man, with a mind and will of his own. Will he find peace in his tortured soul? Will he hear his mother’s pleas and finally return home? Only time will tell.

Recorded on a cold winter’s night in Sault Ste. Marie, this song continues the tried and true formula of recording the song immediately after its conception, while the ideas are still fresh, with all instruments recorded in one or two takes to keep it all raw and real. Featuring the talents of core members Eric Brombacher on lead vocals, Jon Ferguson on bass, rhythm guitar and vocals, and Dino Naccarato on drums, this latest offering also includes fellow Sault natives Michael Davies on lead guitar, and Bill Grawbarger on backing vocals.

Says Eric, “this song draws from all of our respective influences; Americana, Heavy Metal, Progressive Rock, etc., the blending of which creates a unique sound, a sound that we couldn’t have predicted or expected.” As Kadelburg continues to find their footing as a band, we hope that this experimental mixing of genres continues, and we hope that you the listener continues to join them on this musical adventure.

Taking a rare turn on piano, singer-songwriter Eric Brombacher has penned a melancholy ballad of love gone wrong. The protagonists (represented by the seagulls pictured in the cover art), face the age old struggle of reconciling fantasy with reality in romance. “Isn’t love supposed to last forever?” Well it doesn’t always work out that way does it?

Eric Brombacher pens a ballad about love gone wrong.

Anchored by a simple yet plaintive piano performance, highlights include a confident drum performance by Dino Naccarato, and an otherworldy electric guitar performance by Ken Yoshioka. Bassist Tim Bradford provides just the right groove to keep the song rolling while also singing a beautiful harmony over the bridge section which leads us into Ken’s aching guitar solo.

The production is inspired by those late 70’s and early 80’s hard rock bands that knew that the only way for them to rule the airwaves was to include a radio friendly ballad, usually found near the end of ‘side 2’ on the LP or cassette tape.

Written by Eric Brombacher, “Last Forever” is an international collaboration recorded one piece at a time at Orange Peel Productions in Lauchringen, Germany, at Dean’s Attic in Toronto, Ken’s living room in Toronto, and Tim’s basement in North Bay. Look for more new Eric & The Soo songs coming in early 2022.

Follow us on a journey through the past: over the ocean to Eric’s father Hans’ hometown of Kadelburg, Germany; nestled between edge of the black forest and the banks of the glorious Rhine River.

Introducing “The Rhine (Der Rhein)” a tribute to the legacy of Eric’s father Hans and his humble beginnings on the banks of the Rhine. “My father would often regale us with tales of growing up in his tiny village of Kadelburg”, relates Eric, “and the Rhine River always loomed large as a central figure in many of those stories.” It’s only fitting that Eric would eventually put pen to paper and express some of those memories in song. Says Eric, “I had the opening lyric bouncing around in my head for years, but I saw this as a song about the river itself. Once I sat down to write, it became a tribute to my father, Hans, and in a way an exploration of my own legacy.”

A highlight of the song is a beautiful xylophone composition by drummer Dino Naccarato who does double duty, playing drums and percussion on the track as well as presenting his debut performance on xylophone. Eric does his usual bit on vocals and acoustic guitar, with Jon Ferguson superbly filling out the song on bass, 12-string, and electric guitar. The song is sung in both English and German with extra special guest vocalist Hans Brombacher providing baritone backing vocals for the German lyrics. Eric’s wife Jessie Poh also lends her voice to the German language chorus.

“There’s a river that speaks to me, without a single word, and it rolls on past the town of Kadelburg” is what is expressed in the final verse of the song, cementing it as a theme song of sorts for Kadelburg, the town, and also for Kadelburg, the band.

Written by Eric Brombacher and Dino Naccarato, “The Rhine (Der Rhein)” is an international collaboration recorded one piece at a time at Orange Peel Productions in Lauchringen, Germany, at Dean’s Attic in Toronto, Canada, and at Hotbox Studios in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. Look for more new Kadelburg songs coming later in 2021.

Introducing “What I’ve Been Looking For”, showcasing the raw edged rock n’ roll spirit of Eric & The Soo. This is the sound of four guys itching to get back on stage!

Eric says, “The song came to me in the middle of the night. I sang the chorus into my phone and then finished the song the next day.” That was a few years ago. On the very last show the band did before the pandemic, they dusted off the song and performed it live. “The band really leaned into and it was really fun, it came off great and we were all a little surprised by it!” Using that energy they quickly recorded a demo and were yet again surprised at how well it turned out. So they polished it up and decided to release the demo as is. As Brombacher puts it, “the rough and ready quality of it kinds of suits the frantic energy of the song, and also kind of mirrors it’s haphazard origins.”

This simple rock n’ roll song about finding the love of one’s life in a dark smokey bar is not too far removed from Eric’s own personal story. A highlight of the tune is the ‘call and response’ between Brombacher on guitar and Ken Yoshioka on harmonica. As is par for the course during these times it was recorded piecemeal just like “She’s Older Than Me” with each band member recording from their home studios in Toronto, and North Bay, Canada, and Lauchringen, Germany.
