Release Notes:
Trips and Falls are full of surprises. Prelude to a Shark Attack, for
example, sounds nothing like the Jaws theme; instead, itÆs a moving
Ballboy-esque sob-serenade. Male and female voices take turns to
acquiesce to the dreams of the other: heÆs willing to run away with
her; she promises to one day settle down. When their voices combine
itÆs stirring; when they start to simultaneously sing opposing plans,
itÆs heartbreaking. A song so smart in form and so devastatingly
beautiful in content is rare, and alone would be enough to recommend
the Montreal quartet. But itÆs only a slither of this recordÆs wonders:
from the dizzy spin of And In Real Life He Wears Corduroy PantsÆ
off-kilter melody to You Should Really Get YoursÆ sinister threats,
they excel. Their woozy experiments sound like a band that decided to
play their instruments backwards and blindfolded û and discovered it
worked.
