the most serene republic : population

serene 2

I have been listening to The Most Serene Republic’s second full length release, Population, almost non-stop for the last two weeks. I particularly enjoy the full range sound and orchestration of the album. The number of sounds that the Canadian indie rock band utilizes seems innumerable yet the overarching themes remains consistent. Although the intro, Humble Peasants, is not one of the major tracks it introduces the listener to the wonders that are about to unfold by opening with an orchestra tuning and then slowly molding into an elaborate anthem-like wonder. This alone sold me, however, the album continues to delight and entertain throughout. The climactic track, Sherry and her Butterfly Net, serves as a reflection of the entire album, beginning with an emotional piano that introduces the energetic melody that follows. I highly recommend this album.
