Newfound Interest in Connecticut

Newfound Interest in Connecticut started when members met in a high school computers class in the suburbs of Toronto in 1999. Six years later, with the release of their 2005 LP Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home they were no more.

In their Six years, they went from playing school talent shows to opening for bands like the Arcade Fire, Appleseed Cast, Death From Above 1979, and Alexisonfire.

Tell Me About The Long Dark Path Home was written and recorded as three sets of three interconnected songs; creating longer movements attached by theme and alluded to through song title. The record ends with a rerecorded version of their 2004 7" single, The Arctic Circle. The album also features a field recording made by the band wherein they took a long walk through a forest in the middle of the night with a group of close friends/family, manifesting many of the feelings evoked by the albums lyrics.

In 2021, their penultimate release was pressed for the first time as a double lp by We Are Busy Bodies, Pundonor Records, and Left Hand Label. After selling out immediately, they repressed the record that has also sold out. The band deeply appreciates all their new fans.

The band performed their first shows in 19 years in the summer of 2024. They return for more live dates in 2025, in this case with old friends We Are Busy Bodies at their 20th anniversary festival.
