We Say...
Immaculate Machine follows in a grand tradition of melodic indie pop groups to come from the Great White North. But rather than shy away from the comparisons, the group seems it invite them willingly. Singer/keyboardist Kathryn Calder plays piano on New Pornographers’ albums and the group enlisted none other than Arcade Fire string man Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) to take the reins of arranging the orchestral elements on Fables. Luckily, these two connections are more than just coincidence: Fables is an album steeped in the sort of whip-smart songwriting, witty lyric writing and expert execution that has made Canada the hotbed that it is these days. For proof, you need look no further than second song, “Dear Confessor.” Here, the group desperately attempts to keep the endearingly amateur playing together, making the tension of imminent collapse a positive. It’s a neat subversion — and one that the group plays out again and again over the course of the album to great effect.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
