Best album of 2008

Jeff42

Amazingly, this album was originally supposed to be just a collection of songs the band wanted to put out before the release of their next proper album. With Treasury Library Canada, Woodpigeon have taken a great leap forward from their debut Songbook, a very good album in its own right. Lush instrumentation, catchy melodies, and some wonderful vocal harmonies make Woodpigeon's music irresistible. Songs like "I Live a Lot of Places" and "Love in the Time of Hopscotch" should put a spring in anyone's step. It's good to see the album get a proper release, and hopefully Woodpigeon will continue to gain more recognition for their wonderful music.

This is why eMusic ROCKS. This Calgary band is up there with the Decemberists -- no, they're better -- for producing beautiful, melodic, slightly twisted folk pop with a dark, woodsy texture. The instrumentation is amazing and hard to describe -- gently picked guitar and mandolin, occasionally electric, joined here and there by fiddle, tuba, a pulsing drum machine -- all kinds of unexpected stuff popping up throughout, and it all works without seeming the least bit precious or overarranged. Gorgeous harmonies, too. All their albums are great, and in a better world they would already be a massive success. Download the free EP first, then get all the rest. This is hands down the best band I've discovered here since Frightened Rabbit. Thanks eMusic!!!
