I really want to check them out, David Comes to Life or watchamacallit sounded like a really cool album, and I do love Canada. What's their sound like?

That's a good place to start.

Their older stuff (when they just released 7"s) is a kind of modern take on the early 80's hardcore punk sound. Their first full-length, Hidden World is a really expansive, ambitious take on this sound. Their second album, The Chemistry Of Common Life (my personal favourite) is their most experimental album and should probably be listened to after hearing their debut. David Comes To Life is a really poppy, midtempo version of their early sound with gorgeous guitar riffs and a really crisp, clear sound. Its only tie to hardcore punk is essentially the gruff, yelled/screamed vocals. Glass Boys is like David, but shorter and drenched in reverb.

I am intrigued and a half! Thank you Alfred, I will now commence listening (or whenever my girlfriend isn't using spotify).
