Firecracker, produced by David Travers-Smith, presents 13 new songs that beautifully showcase the instrumental versatility, deft songwriting, and ethereal vocal harmonies for which the trio has become known. It is a rich feast of fresh sounds and diverse styles, with songs like Mehta’s indie-pop influenced “Begin’” Moody’s roots-rocker “Things That You Know,” and Chvostek’s plaintive country waltz, “Swallow.”

Fueled by the elemental power and transcendent glory of their honeyed three part harmonies, Firecracker is guaranteed to soothe your soul with its earthy passion and heartfelt compassion.
— Creem

With a baker’s dozen of fresh, rootsy songs and their signature heart-stopping harmonies, The Wailin’ Jennys’ second recording should prove explosive for their careers.

Firecracker doesn’t explode noisily, soon to be forgotten. It lingers like a warm fire.
