I don't know a lot about The Rest. But I received an email that contained a link and a blurb that read as such..."After a laborious, fulfilling year and half of writing and recording we (Hamilton, Ontario's The Rest) are gearing up to release our sophomore record Everyone All At Once this April."
That was it...a mysterious band from The Great White North that's about to release an album this spring. So I followed the link, because I like a good mystery, and it was like WHOA. Everyone All At Once is a super moody epic record that's soaring, melancholic at times, theatrical at others. It's warm one minute and chilly the next. It's truly a expansive record that Canada might have difficulty containing...because you know it's such a small country (ha). The record is filled with falsetto vocals that remind me of bands like JJ72 at their quietest or maybe even Geneva a bit mixed with bits of "northwestern indie."
The Rest have done a fabulous job at creating a record that sounds like the end of winter and beginning of spring. Perfect timing then.
