The Rest
Tue 9 Feb 2010
Suspense; Without A Violin String
They’ve been compared to the Arcade Fire but The Rest has a more auspicious sound, delicately sweeping over a swindled layer of percussion and wandering whimsical guitars. The Ontario band released their debut album in 2009 and it received glowing reviews across the world. The band declare that not a single negative review can be found, quite a fine achievement.
The seven piece band is a very creative, ambitious bunch, and since forming the band has had many diversions into other art forms, musical side projects and running a record label. Their latest journey into the art world fuses with their music, releasing an EP and a book side by side. Cried Wolf tells the story of an adult whose falsified accusations one day come back to haunt him, twisting the fable of ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ into a darker, grown-up version. The book is beautifully illustrated by MLXNDRSC and the EP contains three new tracks and a cover of pop singer Robyn’s ‘With Every Heartbeat’. It can be downloaded for free, in exchange for your email address.
The band’s debut album Everyone All At Once (which collected all the positive reviews when it was released in North America last year), will be released world-wide on March 15th. Check out the video for ‘The Lady Vanishes’ (one of the albums’ stand out tracks) which uses a montage of film segments from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1938 film of the same name.
