About
Music begins where words end. With their first full length, My Dad vs Yours force down
post-rock barricades to a state where pop melodies take
precedence over orchestral crescendos; where electronic
beats, slide guitar and shoegaze co-exist in vibrant
harmony; where instrumentals can incite sing-alongs.
Recorded over the marrow-chilling months of 2005-06, After
Winter Must Come Spring is tulips pushing through a late
thaw. It is the sound of intense expectation that focuses
not on escape but upon communal re-alignment. Though not a
movement, it draws upon the social energies behind one:
sometimes sullen, often celebratory, always self-aware and
questioning boundaries. After Winter Must Come Spring was recorded and mixed by Howard Bilerman & Efrim Menuck at Montreal's Hotel2Tango(Wolf Parade, Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor).
The first My Dads EP, Winning Hearts and Minds, earned the group sound indie credibility: They filmed two songs for Canada's underground art program, ZedTV; the album was released through Duotone Recordsin Japan; and it received regular airplay by American radio guru, Nic Harcourt.
