The keen intelligence, the ambitious ideas, the pride in tackling heady, and cerebral concepts that has characterized the band from Vancouver, British Columbia from the get-go remain intact. But a newfound musical confidence gives a carefree flow to the band's music, with a vivacious presence and palpable warmth. Lauded by the Canadian press, Parlour Steps has at various times evoked comparisons to brainy pop of XTC, the drama of Arcade Fire, the lyrical focus of Sufjan Stevens and the snappy rhythmic grip of the Pixies. But it is front man Caleb Stull's relentless curiosity and daring [...]
Not quite the stellar lineup of releases this week, but there are still some great records to be had with The Flaming Lips' latest, Embryonic leading the pack. Also not to be completely overshadowed are releases from Thao Nguyen , Neon Indian , Imaad Wasif , Grant-Lee Phillips , and Fanfarlo who's debut finally get a proper US release after being available digitally for what feels like forever. As always, feel free to recommend anything I may have missed. [...]
The latest album by Palour Steps proved to be a good example of why I shouldn't dismiss music too fast. During the first listen I basically thought "meh" and figured I wouldn't bother with it again. I was admittedly in a rather poor mood during that listen though so once I cheered up and gave it another chance, I thankfully realized how good it actually is. While The Hidden Names is my introduction to the band, it is no less than their fifth album since debuting in 2000. Packed with richly layered indie-pop, good [...]

Friday night brought me to the Biltmore for the CBC recording of the Buttless Chaps. We rolled in at about 10:30 and the place was rammered. Naturally, I assumed the crowd was just anxious to celebrate the decade that is the BCs, but I was wrong. No, the crowd was dancing along to the first song by the Parlour Steps . This Vancouver based 5-piece is a band I've seen on countless posters, but never actually seen or heard. Right away I was hit with the playfulness of the band on stage. Well that, and how much [...]
February's theme here at Bulldozer/Wreckingball was CITIES. Too late we noticed that Caleb Stull of Vancouver's Parlour Steps has posted an interesting essay on his blog regarding The Myth of the Creative City . This is why his band calls themselves thought rock . The Steps have just released their Ambiguoso album in the USA on Nine Mile Records . It's a pretty hot album, full of hot romance, and also "Hot Romance". mp3: " Hot Romance " by Parlour Steps
