Not a lot goes down in Casco, Maine. In the winter months, this sequestered hamlet around 30 miles from Portland in the North Easternmost tip of the United States acquires a Siberian stillness as suffocating snow descends and carpets this eerily remote and reclusive region.

Yet it was to a forest just outside Casco that The Joy Formidable singer/guitarist Ritzy Bryan and bassist Rhydian Dafydd retired at the start of 2012 to dream up their magnificent second album, Wolf's Law, a record that teems with imagination, yearning and a Carpe Diem restlessness.

"It was just the two of us in this isolated spot where we hardly saw anybody else all the time we were there," says Ritzy. "It snowed every day and the surroundings and the solitude gave us a different level of intensity."
