The phenomena on the night sky and the band from Canada have many things in common. The fading, blinking, mysterious light, the evoking of feelings that cause uncertainity, etc. Canada is a great country for nice or weird indie pop music (Stars for example share some members with Broken Social Scene) which stays with you for many years. I have a long and gentle loving relationship with this band. Following from the second album Heart to their brilliant album last year In Our Bedroom After the War. The last entry in the relationship-diary is the new EP: Sad Robots. Beautiful and full of strenght the songs are like postapocalyptic whirlwinds sweeping through a lot of empty buildings and leaving some traces of tearful emotions behind. (Attention: there’s a reason for this sentence of symbolism.) They have a pretty website for this new release. Buy it there. I’m gonna share a couple older songs as well, just so you can get into the whole feel. The haunting vocals of Amy Milan, the naive and deeply moving themes, and the monumental waves of instruments washing everything else away into melancholy. Hi, I am Cigi and this is my heart.
