"where were you in the wild?", fragt die truppe language arts . keine ahnung, antworte ich, wie ich zunächst ebenso ratlos dem output der band aus east vancouver gegenüberstehe. das ende oktober erscheinende gleichnamige album hat alles, was mir zauberhaft und glühend verehrt entgegenkommt. diese lässige folknote, ohne in tradition zu verharren, den pop, der dich beschwingter durch den alltag ziehen lässt, die memorable idee, das unsteife in der harmonie und doch manch schlanken dreher beinhaltend. sängerin kristen cudmore hat zudem eine stimme, der das kieksige joanna newsoms genauso innewohnt wie [...]

With its genre-defying qualities, Vancouver's Language-Arts' sophomore release "Where Were You in the Wild?" is expected to turn ears to a new side to indie rock; celebrating obscurities and word entanglements with poetic poise, paired with an alt-rock foundation yet fleshed out with classical instrumentation.

No matter how cool you are, or how many hoodies you own, parenthood is a pretty big deal. Sometimes it overcomes people in such a way that they feel compelled to make absurd analogies, such as " parenthood is like making a record ," a tidy nugget of wisdom for you to sew onto your next throw pillow courtesy of soon-to-be dad Pete Wentz.
