Description
The tumbling drum fill that vaults Heavens to Purgatory into its chorus tells you everything about this band’s precision and nerve. On ...And The Ever Expanding Universe, The Most Serene Republic sharpen their baroque indie into bright, mathy shapes without losing warmth. Produced by David Newfeld, the whole thing buzzes with Arts & Crafts energy, but it’s tidier, more pointillist. Patternicity threads sudden dynamic pivots through glassy guitars, while Phi blooms into one of their most melodic codas. This LP pressing gives the dense arrangements room to breathe; low end sits deeper and imaging is clearer. File it next to Broken Social Scene and that mid-2000s Canadian sprawl, though the hooks here bite cleaner. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Most Serene Republic records online with us. Recommended for anyone who likes their indie ambitious, but still wants a singalong when The Old Forever New Things swings wide. From small-room parties to late tram rides, it’s a record that rewards attention and still sparks a grin. Art and lyrics feel more considered than earlier outings, less scattershot and more purposeful.
Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
