Can’t stop listening to this album by this big Toronto band. Best tracks are Inside/Out, Steamroller, Satisfied and Crabapples.
A very tight in production and more of a bigger sounding album than previous album. Best tracks are Out on the Shield, B.C. Orienteering, Camilo (The Magician), Islands Disappear, Black Day in December and Goodnight Moon
Great second album. Best tracks are Oh My God ((It Still Means a Lot to Me), My Old Ghosts, Call if you need me, When We Were Young and The Late King Henry.
Patrick does it again with his third album. Lots of unique instrumentation and luscious lyrics. Best tracks are Fireweed, Tracy’s Water, Beijing and Where The Wild Things Are.
Something about this album is so relaxing and soothing. Best track are Your Rocky Spine, Everything Is Moving So Fast, Pulling On A Line, Concrete Heart and Still.
A fun rocking crazy album. Best tracks are The Boys Are Leaving Town, Young Hearts Spark Fire, Wet Hair, Rockers East Vancouver and Heart Sweats
His second album is giving some recognition and its a superb album. Best tracks are Road Regrets, Robots, The Indie Queens Are Waiting and Fair Verona.
Their third album is a change from Fables and much mature sounding album. Best tracks are Sound The Alarms, Neighbours Won’t Mind, Only Love You For Your Car and Blurry Days
This album by ex-members of Arcade Fire and The Unicorns just blew me away. Best tracks are Haarp, You Have My Eyes Now, Cave Mouth and Ledmonton.
This debut from this Toronto band is crazy experimental album. Best tracks are Youth Tunes, Tambourine, Concepts and Imaginary Friends
