I never really listened to them before but I decided to check them out at vfest last summer and fell in love. Amazing live and such sweet guys. Definitely looking forward to seeing them again.
whaaaaaaaaat? White Lies has got ONE freaking album and these guys have been around for a year or 6 now. WL should be supporting Wintersleep. I loved the White Lies album but come on , not fair don't ya think , just because White Lies got hyped like hell
yeah ok fair enough i get your point now, been listening to these guys and their stuff is really great!! they def need more hype and i need to get to see them again!!
i went to see them open in LA, and i was talking to loel about the previous albums, and they played Caliber and Danse Macabre. and Encyclopedia very good song. apperently, Jud bought a house in western Canada and wont be touring again.

if you can't hear the britpop influences in this track contra the their other tracks then YOU have indeed been a sleep, hell just compair it to the bands they have along with them on their european tour.
What Britpop does this sound like? The first time I heard it I immediately thought "Sugar" and "Pixies" as major influences. Not Britpop. Enlighten me.
"I play" is the "ob-li". "The yam" is the "vion". That weird vocal thing he does afterwards is the "aha". Does that help how we might get it mixed up? Also, I saw the in a concert yesterday. They're amazing.
The people who handed out the Junos knew what they were doing when they gave this band the New Group of the Year award.
I've only heard this song, and "Weighty Ghost" by Wintersleep. But if the rest of their songs are like those, they will be one hell of a band. I should get the album. Anybody know what it's called?
These guys have been around since 2003. Damn, how come I never heard of them? The radio needs to play more of this music. I've only heard two song but they are one of my favorite bands
I just found this band because I have to write a report on a Canadian band's song for my Literature studies class and I have to say, I am in love with their stuff. I'm glad my teacher made us do this project.
the way the singer moves makes me trust him. I'm not a woman/gay (not that there's anything wrong with these two conditions). I'm just saying trust is a very important notion in art.
I'm sure what they meant was before they saw this on youtube and read the song title. I thought it was "I play the Yamaha". The radio host on the station I heard the song on even said the song was called "I Play the Yamaha" LOL
I love them!

If you are looking for the album with Oblivion on it in particular, you are looking for Welcome to the Night Sky.
A stunning album!!
Naturally however, I recommend all three albums,any rarities you can find, and their live shows! ;)
