I remember this track being played on local college radio and instantly attached to it. I believe at the time these kids might have not yet been out of high school. The multi-part backing vocals are just sensational...
This Canadian duo has been getting quite a bit of buzz lately with their album release "Shrines". For me anyway it is quite exciting to hear some well crafted electro-pop music that is a little bit off-kilter with spoken word vocals...
