Remember when Vampire Weekend wrote the best two minute indie-pop songs around? This new track from Winnipeg’s Royal Canoe is sort of how Ezra Koenig & co.
might sound now, had they not decided to become XL’s rent boy’s. Four minutes of unashamed, unabashed, rot-your-teeth-sweet indie pop, and boy is it addictive, if only they’d put it up for free download. Stream Hold On To The Metal Below and keep up with the group via their Facebook.
