What do you get when you cross Stars with Broken Social Scene? How about new Arts & Crafts signing The Most Serene Republic? With lush soundscapes, layered harmonies and dreamy atmospherics, TMSR's addition to the venerable A&C label is a no-brainer. The group fall smack dab in the middle of Stars' spacey, romantic pop and BSS' post...

The Most Serene Republic's creepy new video for "Jelly Chamber" features astronauts fighting tiny dinosaurs, travelling underwater and strange mermaids that look like they belong more in a '60s Roger Moore-era James Bond film than anything else. And that bald guy at the end? He looks like a more disturbing version of the man on the cover of...
