I think it just didn't do it for me and I had very little reasoning behind it. Other then playing it safe (which is a stretch because genre-bending isn't safe), it just didn't work for me. I still have a ton of work to do on negative reviews.... A factor I should have put in there is that I have yet to visit Montreal so...those things may have passed me by.

I agree that its a 'safe' record in terms of its content and breezy style, but I've noticed a lot of the indie-pop reviewed on your blog carries the same vibe so I'm a little surprised by your comments. I liked this record because it clearly is a 'Montreal' record and captured many of the great elements putting their indie scene on the map at the moment. I suppose it just doesn't make that final crucial push to something remarkable, but I think we'll see great things from these guys in the future. their hearts are in the right place and sometimes thats what matters most.

Wow. This is probably going to be my top Canadian record this year.... You think this is safe? Wow. This is probably going to be my top Canadian record this year….
