the neighbourhood council is four friends from calgary, alberta: young, unsigned, & with one live and self-released ep. check them out on their myspace, or read about them where i was tipped off at stereogum, or at calgary's fast forward weekly, or maybe just hear what im talking about for yourself:
the neighbourhood council - liver and tan
this is a beautiful and sweeping tune, the nine minute plus opener of their homegrown ep, set pieces. and when i say sweeping, i mean it physically carries you off, whisking you into a blissful neverworld of quiet rhythms, airy explosions in the skyesque guitar work, and the kind of subtle drumwork that is perfect without you ever noticing. when the vocals come in around the five minute mark, all bets are off as you stand transfixed in a swirl of steady piano, guitar, bass, and calm drumming. only this one track for download at the moment, and the ep is available directly from the band, with one other track up on their myspace, the shorter yet nearly five minute long 'she brave soul', the late blooming lovechild of the epic 'liver and tan', sigur ros, explosions in the sky, and the bone structure of the arcade fire.
