Young Galaxy - Shapeshifting

Maybe it's just because I'm up early (by choice), the sun is shining just right through the window, I'm sipping my green tea, or that it's a holiday Monday... but the new album by Young Galaxy, Shapeshifting, just feels good!

They're a Canadian band, which is of course, cool.

The interesting part are the twists and turns the album takes. It switches from dreamy, sunny, jolly to maybe even slightly eery. It could be that Catherine McCandless's vocals are almost inherently haunting, requiring a small shift in the supporting instruments to completely change the mood.

You google it to read about it, or listen to the whole album online here.

Below you can listen to one of my favourites, "We Have Everything".
