Oh Canada, I love your music. This band is from Montreal and they sing all their songs in French because, unlike Wolf Parade, they are a real Montreal band. Yes, they have some of the signature Montreal sound-orchestrael stylings, glockenspiels, ramshackled energy, romantique lyrics and so on. But they are a little more hyper and je ne sais quoi. The first song is quickly becoming one of my favourite autumnal songs and the second is a great hymnal ballad.
I see that Pitchfork has just posted a review of their album and has recommended it. I haven't read the review (as everyone needs to have some music that you don't hear through the pitchfilter) but I'm sure it'll be informative.
I'm using a new filesharing site called zshare, which hosts files for longer than yousendit and is all around better.
