Excuse the cheesy post title. Ahem. Canada has produced some of my favorite indie bands: Metric, Broken Social Scene, and my now soon to be favorite, Great Bloomers. Just having released their new, self-titled EP yesterday, the five-member Toronto-based band produces music that's a mix of folk, indie and classic pop. Personally I like the touch of classical piano heard here and there because it reminds me of my good old piano-competition-Debussy days. Oh and the harmonica, and especially the distortion/experimental guitar. In a way it is this guitar distortion and experimentation that not only draws me to this band, but also reminds me of my favorite said band, Broken Social Scene. All this, plus catchy guitar riffs, melodic layering, and ever changing-tempos makes this my fun favorite go-to. Check it out!
