WHO ARE WE
ROYAL STRAYS
consists of Alternative Tentacles recording artist Ani Kyd Wolf with the fierce rhythm section of Sons Of Freedom, Don Binns and Don Short.
This unique three piece swings through sounds of dark cabaret to haunting country and everything in between while creating their own sound. This new project sounds more like a combination of 16 Horsepower meets Portishead than their driving heavy previous sonic adventures of yesterday,
Don Binns plays Acoustic guitar and piano as his main instruments in this trio. Don Short is a versatile brilliant drummer, utilizing his brushes and jazz chops in these songs, while Ani Kyd Wolf pulls out her haunting vocals that weave through the songs in a somewhat untypical way.
August 2024 they recorded their debut album with producer Dave Rave Ogilvie at the iconic Hipposonic Studios in Vancouver. While recording they shot footage for their documentary that will accompany the release of their debut album in 2025
