Sunday evening I learned a band I liked had broken up.<\/p>\n
The band is Aerials Up<\/a>. Unsurprisingly, they’re from Scotland. When I wrote about Aerials Up originally<\/a>, I wrote that “there’s a certain similarity to Arcade Fire in the sound of Aerials Up; there’s a similar instrumentation, a similar mixture of male and female voices. But I also hear a certain Barenaked Ladies influence on tracks like the ‘Stay Awake’ single or the ‘I AM’ demo, the sardonic quality that BNL brings to their work that can’t help but bring a smile to the face.”<\/p>\n The song that stands out is “All Your Mother’s Daughters,” which is the song that, to me, sounds very Arcade Fire-ish:<\/p>\n
