Release Notes:
Loitering Heroes is a five-piece, Toronto based
artpop group exploring themes such as environmental
and global collapse and it's effects on the
individual and urban habitation, the haunting of
memory and nostalgia, the democratically elected
political figurehead versus fictional and
fantastical heroic totems. Their lyrics employ
whimisical juxtapostion, elusive and elliptical
refrains and acknowleges the incessant influence of
popular culture and a post-post-modern sense of
reference. Musically, Loitering Heroes explores
genres and modes of composition based upon the band
members various backgrounds and educations,
including traditional and experimental jazz and
improvisition, modern classical composition,
independent rock and folk as well as a high
influence of atmospheric sound and noise. Loitering
Heroes's intent is to make reconstructed modern pop
music that is at once easily accessible, as well as
socially significant.
