ok, now that we know pitchfork love the arcade fire album more than just about anything else released this decade, i guess it’s only to be expected that more bands pick up the baton that t’fire forged in sonic alchemy and run with it.
for it cannot be denied that this big gang of friends (there are seven in the band !), the rest, have a similar way with grandeur and chorus build ups meaning that there will be a lot of people joining the dots.
the rest make big music, and proud of it, and to fund their high ideals and crazy dreams, the band have come up with the novel idea of selling their homemade beer at shows they have played.
no wonder their homegrown crowds (ontario, canada) love’em.
the band have recently signed to something in construction, and are on their way to wow london based crowds in coming weeks :
october 12th – ill fit , old blue last w/cate le bon, sebastien schuller illfit djs
october 13th – lexington w/ kill it kid, sparrow & the workshop
october 14th – london 229
in the meantime, here is a free ep for you to experience the music prior to the hangover.
