SONG OF THE DAY (#213)

'an anniversary away,' by reverie sound revue

somewhere between stars and au revoir simone is the reverie sound revue. yes, yes, it's a pretty tasty little dish. i don't know much about these kids [as i'm hearing them for the first time this weekend], but what i've gleaned so far is this: they're canucks. they got together in 2002. they released a six-track e.p. in 2003, then released an enhanced version of the same e.p. with two additional tracks later that year. the good folks over at mewzique posted the e.p. recently. it's totally out of print ergo it can't be purchased anywhere, so i don't see the harm in posting it for others to enjoy. if you like what you hear [and i'm confident you will], head on over to mewzique and download it.

AND reverie sound revue vocalist lisa lobsinger has also lent her pipes on occasion for broken social scene's 'anthems for a seventeen year old girl' [as have feist, emily haines from metric, and amy millan from stars], which probably makes my 'top ten favorite all-time songs' list. i also thought it would've fit in perfectly during the first season of 'veronica mars,' but don't get me started on that 'cos i just get upset. [and thanks to honora for introducing me to the song!] so they get like a thousand extra cool points just for that.

and it looks like they're putting the finishing touches on their new album, too. they posted this song as a freebie on their website. according to the band, this isn't even the final mix of the song. if this is the demo, i can hardly wait to hear the 'official' version 'cos, wow, what a great little song this is. all signs point to a great future for the reverie sound revue. so you best get on the bandwagon now.
