The Most Serene Republic. I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this band. They're from Milton, Ontario, Canada. I found out about them after reading a review on DrownedInSound where they say: "Welcome to The Most Serene Republic’s debut album, eleven tracks of every song you’ve already experienced condensed into some wondrous concoction from a beautiful world, somewhere we yearn to live in but can only visit fleetingly, such are the demands of the nine-to-five grind. It’s the sort of record that has one forgetting oneself – one’s deadlines, train timetables, loved ones’ birthdays. It invites the listener inside, a cup of cocoa in one hand and a syringe full of something sparkling and silver in the other. Relax, lie back, receive the treatment; drift away magically." I downloaded the album (don't worry, I plan to call the only record shop around this god forsaken town and have them special order it for me tomorrow or Monday) and it is very good. I think DrownedInSound overdid it a little, but oh well. It is indeed very good. I think you all should listen to them. If I had to describe them, I really couldn't. They're definitely softer, kind of Rilo-Kileyish? They're pretty unique though. Just listen to them. Resources: Official Website. DrownedInSound Review. Amazon.com. MySpace.
