The Rest
I'm sorry that Gigs ‘n Reviews’ Weekly Myspace Discovery has been missing for a month or so. Our American adventure took more out of me than I had originally thought. But enough about me, onto the music.
On their Myspace page I was immediately attracted to writing about the Canadian band The Rest when reading to make their second album Everyone All At Once they went away to a forest and woke up to a lake.
Although The Rest’s music isn’t my cup of tea, I can appreciate how they used their camping experience to create songs full of earthiness and freedom.
Their Myspace features four tracks, each with intriguing beats and tunes. As an eight-piece band they use many instruments like the violin, piano and organ to create their unique sound. Their track Walk On Water (auspicious beginnings) is a track you could drift to another world.
The Rest reminds me of the Australian band Augie March and a very early Powderfinger. So if you want to find out more about The Rest, go to http://www.myspace.com/therestband.
