Forest City Lovers

With finals behind me, I’ve had the chance to catch up on some of the music that’s been in the queue for a while. One album to which I was excited to listen was that of Toronto’s Forest City Lovers. Haunting Moon Sinking has got all the appeal of the new(ish) Canadian folk scene, with fresh and intriguing vocals and irresistible hooks and melodies. As they state themselves, they’re 75% Capricon, 50% left-handed, and 100% friends. Indeed, this light-hearted approach to music is reflective in Forest City Lovers’ sophomore LP (third overall release), and is thoroughly enjoyable. Be sure to grab yourself a copy of Haunting Moon Sinking.

Listen to “Orphans” (4.6/5)

Listen to “Don’t Go” (4.8/5)

Good lord – I stumbled upon this site trying to find an mp3 of Dr. Stringz by Andrew Bird and I think it’s the most fabulous thing I’ve found all year. It opens up so many musical gateways! I’ve been looking for something to get me some new music to investigate and Paste magazine stopped cutting it… I think this will be perfect. I’ll check back every day

Brittany-if you still want the Dr. Stringz, let me know. I can’t tell you how great it is to hear that! Keep on reading! (I agree-Paste has started to falter a bit)
