I recently bought this second and most recent album by the canadian 6 piece instrumental collective. I hadnt heard of them previous to noticing them on the picnic line-up. The band consist of 1 part time and 2 full time members of Arcade Fire which of course caught my interest, but make no mistake they are very different to AF.
Its quite Avant-garde. Lots of Horns, strings, complex percussion and electonica. Some tunes being very orchestral and some are almost jazz. I'd recommend it to fans of Beirut, not that Im comparing the two. Anyway I will be checking out their set at EP. |
