Every
major Canadian act seems to have a slightly narrow niche these days.
Broken Social Scene are the passionate indie rockers, The New
Pornographers are peppy yet oddly winsome, and Arcade Fire are doing
the lush, emotive orchestral pop thing. That's why it's nice to have
The Golden Dogs, who are really just fucking fun. Their sophomore
record features 12 tracks that are positively bursting at the seams
with energy, feeling and catchy melodies. Frontman Dave Azzolini and
wife/keyboardist Jessica Grassia's infectious enthusiasm is so
positively phenomenal, you can't help but smile every time their songs
explode through your stereo. With all of the country's indie
heavyweights taking the year off,
Big Eye Little Eye is poised to stand
up as the best Canadian record of 2006.
