They're from Edmonton, Alberta and they're something of a supergroup:
the singer/songwriter is from an indie band called the Faunts and the
rhythm section is from a quite LCD Soundsystem-like band called Shout
Out Out Out Out. Pretty much the whole album sounds like the songs on
the Myspace page: there are a lot of direct cops from the Zombies
(lots of breathy vocals and electric piano solos), but overall, they
mostly sound kind of like Belle and Sebastian. I like the album on
the whole, but there are aspects that bug me a bit, especially the
decision to bury all the vocals in reverb.
