Album Notes & Community Reviews
Sharing key members with Arcade Fire, this Montreal instrumental ensemble relies on a lush, brass-and-string-heavy approach to post-rock. The debut album bypasses traditional guitar crescendos in favor of sweeping, modern classical arrangements that evoke an uplifting, warmly acoustic cinematic atmosphere.
