They were way too good to be really big!

Untouchable gem of a band. Never a day goes by that I don't listen to, talk about, or just plain hum lyrics to myself. I am lucky to have seen them at Cobo in Detroit open for The Hip. The best night of my life short of becoming a Dad! Badass Canadians the lot of em'.

WOW!

I totally agree. Their music isn't always as catchy as some other stuff from their time, which is probably why they didn't get all that popular. Once you give their songs a few listens, though, they start to grow on you. Most people didn't get that far, but those who did don't regret it. Hence, a cult following.

Much of their music is such. It takes a couple of listens to hear all the wonderful nuances the music holds.

Fucking beautiful

My very favourite song on the whole album. Mesmerizing. Beautiful. Haunting. Intense. So happy it's here, and what an amazing performance...

One Friday night 19 years ago I came home and this was on MUCH; I was entranced. This was in the pre-youtube days and I knew that they would not have this video on rotation and I didn't have another way to see aside from luck. So I would come home every weekend night and hope it was on...but it never was! Then about 2 years later I came home late turned on the TV and it was playing! It was such an amazing feeling! I bought Whale Music and have loved it, the movie and the book ever since

This song is so wonderfully surreal. I didn't like it at first, but after a few listens, something clicked and suddenly I realized how friggin' amazing it is.
