Insanely listener-friendly and polite pop music from Toronto-based group. Prone to big sounds - strings, timpanis, harmonizing voices, pipe organ, killer hooks, you could compare the group to a northern Chills. Highly recommended.
1. Lush, catchy
2. So peppy and catchy as to to distract you from the subversive "Ban Marriage" lyrics
3. Pretty acoustic song
4. Choppy rhythm, good sing-along potential, nice strings
5. An REM-ish quality in the reedy voice, the obtuse melody, and the strummed rhythm
6. Orchestral and choral arrangement give big sound to this already huge hook; reminds of Spiritualized nouveau-gospel
7. Pleasant but pales in comparison with others on album
8. Nice choir-in-a-church accent to otherwise straightforward song
9. Again, hymn-like (or anthemic) in the simplicity of the song; everybody sing and clap!
10. A bit of chamber-pop; delicate
