SUMMARY:TIRED COSSACK w/ DANA LEE
DESCRIPTION:Post-punk\, shoegaze-inspired indie rock\, and the odd alt-country twang combine in Tired Cossack. Coming from Winnipeg\, Canada\, he demonstrates an ability to use simple and upbeat music to break musical conventions. His songs flow like a meandering path devoid of care. Themes of joy and melancholy mix with intense\, cold industrial rhythms meeting clever songwriting with nods to Ukrainian folklore.
