Library Voices - August 19 - Voodoo's

Since forming in the spring of 2008 Library Voices have been operating at a feverish pace. After recording a 3 song demo this ten piece pop collective released EP 'Hunting Ghosts & Other Collected Shorts, participated in several high profile festivals and showcases including Sled Island, Regina Folk Festival, Gateway Festival (Greg Keelor), and performed before 2500+ at Ness Creek. In addition the band shot a television commercial for their single Step Of The Map & Float to promote the Regina Folk Festival and was awarded a grant by the Sask Arts Board to record a full length follow up, which will commence September 1, 2008.

Hunting Ghosts & Other Collected Shorts, offers a clear and concise introduction to the collective. The groups song writing objectives are evident, bridging sophisticated pop hooks and melodies with complex harmonies and anthemic sing along choruses. Lyrically the album strays from bubblegum, addressing late night escapades, panic attacks, and the construct of home.

"Just when you feel like you're all used up and it's time to go, some music gets under your skin and changes your mind." - See Magazine

"The results of these studies (in pop music) are well worth the effort. Hunting Ghosts succeeds in being addictive and continuously compelling." - Prairie Dog

“Library Voices give pop a good name! Mixing classic influences (The Kinks, The Zombies) with a more contemporary indie-pop collective aesthetic they have managed to craft a handful of timeless tunes that couldn't exist anytime but right now. While unexpected mid-song disintegrations and perfectly imperfect gang vocals add a nice seasoning to their mix, it's their ability to never lose sight of the song that makes this so vital.” - Sled Island Festival '08
