Vancouver bites because there's so much hip-hop. Why couldn't I live in Ontario, for fuck's sakes? ps: that new JT song freaks me the hell out. I thought it was a chick singing!

The Remains of Brian Borcherdt Volumes 1 & 2 Sharing (actually, partially founding) the same record label as Wintersleep (and Borcherdt's band Holyfuck), he's bound to have some similarity in sound, which is what attracted me on first listen. The most notable similarity to Wintersleep is the vocal style, he sounds similar to Paul Murphy, but there is also a similarity to John Wozniak of Marcy Playground (the Sex & Candy band, for those who don't know). Borcherdt's music has a very similar feel to Wintersleep's... very emotive and sincere, at times even so much to make you stop what you're doing and just lose yourself in the feeling. Ha, I found myself having an emo moment in the middle of a downtown Vancouver A&W to this. While those similarities are shared, Brian Borcherdt is more straightforward rock & roll, with less expermentation and more pure instrumentation rather than effects. While I enjoy Wintersleep very much (2nd favorite band), some people are turned off by their obscurity or 'weirdness', as I've heard some put it. People who had looked into Wintersleep but been turned off by that aspect might enjoy this more. A lot of these songs are emotional, acoustic affairs, while others are just great catchy indie rock. "Can't Stop Lovin' You" had me signing along at first listen, and "Motel" still gets me every single time. Good music. The second volume dips a bit more into obscurity but they're both very solid Canadian indie records, worthy of a purchase, especially if you enjoy that east Canadian sound. Oh yeah, there's also some pretty cool artwork if you enjoy that sort of thing.

I'm gonna be a lameass and pick country. At least it's got some romance and heart, and doesn't just sing about gangstas/hustlin/bitches all the time.
