The Choir Practice - Up All Day
* * * * *
At this rate, every band in Canada will soon be just a "collective" of bands from other collectives, armies, scenes and the like. But this is a collective I can be down with: a group of musicians from pretty much every band in Vancouver, fronted by Coco Culbertson from the Gay and AC Newman, all getting together every week for choir practice, singing songs using only complex harmonies and an occasional guitar, and taking pretty awesome press photos in the snow.

Department of Eagles - Sailing By Night
* * * * *
This song features one member of the band Grizzly Bear, some dramatic string samples, a few very high end drum machine noises, and what seems to be a Kazoo solo somewhere in the middle. The resultant noise is a very pleasant one, not dissimilar from the UNKLE songs that are actually good or from a Radiohead song played by a band with a better sense of humour.
