4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice little pop record, November 25, 2008
These guys out of Toronto don't get as much attention as bands like The Islands or Arcade Fire, likely due to the fact that pitchfork media and other poser operated outfits aren't lavishing adulatory praise all over them.
I first heard this band on the soundtrack of Everything's Gone Green, which was a Douglas Coupland project that, to be honest, wasn't all that great. Anyways, Birdsong and a couple other tunes on here are well worth the cover price. They have a more conventional kind of pop/rock sound that I would normally find nauseating, but they make it work most of the time. The kind of music that would actually fit nicely into a radio station's playlist if they weren't all operated by deadbeat hippy / corporate whores with strict regulations on what crappy bands need to be made popular. Thank God the internet has made radio an anachronism.
