The Most Serene Republic
Even more so than you'd normally expect from a band that piles on strings, horns, and just about anything else that strikes its fancy in the studio, Ontario's The Most Serene Republic seems to take tireless pleasure in puddle-jumping through a mini galaxy of sound. On its recent third album, ...And The Ever-Expanding Universe, the band's sprawling tendencies serve it as well as ever: The album somehow maintains a certain friendly prog-pop focus while leaping from tracks rooted in pensive classical piano to ecstatic heaps of male-female vocals, hyper-yet-precise percussion, and the cloudy twinkle of multiple guitars.
