Do you like the music, Emily? I queued some up on Youtube but it hits me the same as very cerebral jazz does, i.e. I can admire the intellect but it doesn’t grab me.
I love the music and can appreciate some of the way it’s constructed, the harmonies and rhythms and such. I like their use of microtones and unusual time signatures, and the masterful use of the looper pedal. Though I’ve studied music and I’m a musician myself. But I think a lot of people like the overall sound.

Their sound reminds me of Okara from Ottawa.

According to a fan club on Facebook, their music is getting played at hockey games: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2650026258716737/posts/2707507382968624

I heard it on TV during a stoppage in play at the Bell Centre the other day.

I heard it on CBC 6 when play paused, maybe 4 seconds worth.
