Public chatter

So, we've been very lucky to get a boatload of press lately, mostly good. Our former fourteen-year-old selves are freaking out about the coverage in Globe & Mail and Pitchfork and the like but the adult us are most flattered with a review on a blog called Obscure Sound. It landed in our Google Alert inbox a couple days ago and, reading through it, we couldn't help but be touched by the time that Mike Mineo has clearly spent with our record and the thoughtful things he had to say in response.

We're well aware that press is just about angles and snappy copy, but every so often something like this comes along and proves that people are truly listening and that music journalism doesn't have to be all superlatives and regurgitated press releases.

Head over to the press section to read Mike's review or hit the direct link here.

Thanks to everyone who has written about us recently. Thanks especially to Mike for proving that, sometimes, you'll find more insight in the small corners of the internet than you will in a traditionally-circulated, supposedly authoritative newspaper.
