Formed over a decade ago, Vancouver-based In Medias Res has risen from a fledgling act full of potential to one of the most lauded indie rock bands in the city, and their brand-new release has them poised to reach new heights. Three years ago, after touring extensively, selling out multiple pressings of their Intimacy EP and debut Of What Was, and establishing a passionate fan base across the country, the band went into the studio. Re-teaming with esteemed local producer Jonathan Anderson (Aidan Knight, Stablio), the quartet intended to best their previous effort, which was met with glowing reviews. But then life intervened. Rumors spread of the band s demise as the album was slow in coming; meanwhile, the band rewrote, re-recorded, and remixed. In the assured hands of Dave Carswell and John Collins the album finally found its form: It Was Warm and Sunny When We First Set Out. Already garnering significant buzz including ranking as the #1 seller on Bandcamp with over 20,000 total plays to date the album will be released in 2011, with a national tour to follow in support.
