A thousand girls that look like me
Staring out at the open sea
Repeat the words until they're true
Cover my eyes electric blue
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out I don't know shit
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out
This eclectic 7-member band out of Canada have been alternative music darlings for years now. For me, their songs are hit & miss - perhaps because of my mood as much as because of arrangement. The band plays guitar, drums, bass guitar, piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, xylophone, glockenspiel, keyboard, synthesizer, French horn, accordion, harp, mandolin, and hurdy-gurdy; the multi-instrumentalist band members switch duties throughout shows while touring. I do think that I would absolutely love them live. But regardless, there's something a little bit more alluring in their recent recorded release, and this is my favorite of the new crop.
