The voice is unmistakable – immediately identifiable by those that know it and intensely intriguing to those that don’t. It belongs to Dallas Green, perhaps better known as the man who writes, records, and performs under the moniker of City and Colour.
Already renowned across Canada thanks to the success of his previous two full length albums – 2005’s Sometimes and 2008’s Bring Me Your Love – and a live CD/DVD combo released between the two, Green is set to propel his profile to a new plateau with the June 2011 release of his third album, Little Hell.
When he’s not foiling the intense and aggressive post-hardcore sounds of Alexisonfire with his dreamy, dulcet vocals, Green can be found touring as City and Colour, selling out thousand-seat venues across his native North America and respectably-sized European shows weeks in advance, including an April 2011 performance at the UK’s treasured Royal Albert Hall which sold out in mere hours.
Considering his already impressive album sales, his latest album’s potential impact is enormous. Sophomore Platinum-seller BMYL debuted at #2 on the Top 200 Soundscan chart (Canada), #5 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist chart, # 11 on its Heatseekers chart, never losing momentum through to the present. Though such things aren’t what drives the artist to continue refining his craft.
“I’m just always aiming to become a better player and better songwriter, and this is the culmination of that at this point in time,” says the man with the heavenly voice about Little Hell. “I’m very proud of it, and that’s what’s most important to me.”
