The Deep Dark Woods, masters of hushed resonance, unveil The Circle Remains on October 3, 2025, via Victory Pool Records. This LP isn’t about grand statements; it’s a subtle, effortless refinement of their potent craft. Today, they share “Traded In Your Name,” a single born from intuition—captured in a few takes, featuring a “beautiful harmony” by Evan Cheadle that frontman Ryan Boldt calls his favourite.

The Deep Dark Woods return with their first new music since Broadside Ballads Vol. III. Watch the accompanying video to Ruby, a tender psychedelic waltz in which late-evening thoughts swirl around your head, cut adrift with no point of anchor.

Canada’s The Deep Dark Woods return with another fine selection of folk songs – Broadside Ballads Vol III. It’s a quietly intoxicating album featuring the warm-voiced Ryan Boldt, his band, and special guest Erin Rae.

The Deep Dark Woods announce Broadside Ballads Vol. III and share their lead single ‘Spanish is the Loving Tongue’ – they offer an escape from modern, plastic, urban life – taking you somewhere old, organic, and rural.

Fronted by Ryan Boldt, Deep Dark Woods, one of Canada’s finest purveyors of stately folk-rock, return with ‘Changing Faces’, offering escape from modern, plastic, urban life – taking you somewhere old, organic, and rural.

Ryan Boldt’s ‘Broadside Ballads’ is a love letter to his record collection. Now reissued, this understated and haunting album is – no more, no less – a collection of Boldt’s renditions of some of the traditional North American and British folk songs he holds so dear.
