The Autumn Defense formed in 2004, originally with Gary Lightbody, John McCauley, Nick Harmer, and Ryan Jarman. Their self-titled debut came out in 2006, featuring songs like 'Canyon Arrow' that established their atmospheric, melodic approach.
After Lightbody left in 2009, the band regrouped with new members including Christian Savill and DeVoe Jackson. They released their third album 'Circles' in 2012, which included the title track and other songs like 'Iowa City, Adieu' and 'Silence' that continued their blend of folk and indie textures.
Their catalog includes 'Some Kind Of Fool' among other tracks that maintain a consistent, understated quality across their recordings.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
