By Jen White (CHARTattack) June 16, 2008 3:30 pm
Despite The Weather Network threatening thunder showers all weekend, it was a beautiful day for Saturday's love fest on Olympic Island. I arrived on the island about midway through Rogue Wave's set. As I approached the concert area, "Publish My Love" was bleeding out of the speakers to a relaxed and happy crowd. It was still pretty hot...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 17, 2011 3:50 pm
Here's another tune from Young Galaxy's recently released, critically-acclaimed Shapeshifting album. "We Have Everything" is one of the LP's standout tracks, and much like "Cover Your Tracks" and the rest of the disc, it finds the Vancouver trio turning away from their previous sound thanks to Studio member Dan Lissvik's production skills.

Young Galaxy's new video for "We Have Everything" is kind of adorable... and weird at once. A creature that looks like the pink version of McDonald's Grimace boards a bus driven by a skeleton... which ends up flying through the sky. Is the strange, bearded man meant to be God? He has what looks like Biblical references on his hands... hmm. You...

Vancouver's Young Galaxy are back with "Cover Your Tracks," a new tune off their upcoming Shapeshifting album. It's a unique combination of the band's trademark space rock mixed with vague island sounds, like steel drums. That beat's as good for chilling out in a club as it is for relaxing on the sand somewhere warmer in an effort to escape the...

First we thought it was a Martha And The Muffins record, then we thought it was a Sinead O'Connor album, then an Echo And The Bunnymen album, and somewhere in there it also became Spiritualized-fronted-by-Sarah McLachlan. All this sounds retarded, but we're cool with it.

Hometown: Montreal, Quebec Sound: Dreamy, swoony indie pop that calls out to sensitive sweater nerds and English majors everywhere. Not unlike Mazzy Star, Low or A Northern Chorus, the music of Young Galaxy is the perfect primer to a solid nap — in a good way. Why?
