You Forgot It in People

Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the commercial breakthrough for the sprawling Canadian indie-rock collective, 'You Forgot It in People' marked a dramatic shift from ambient instrumentalism to a more structured, yet sonically maximalist, song-based approach. [1] The album is defined by its intricate, experimental production and a lush, layered sound that merges explosive pop hooks with tender, atmospheric moments, all performed by a large, rotating cast of musicians including members of Metric and Stars, as well as vocalist Feist.
