The Most Serene Republic – Heavens To Purgatory (Youtube)

A slice of extremely affable Canadian folk-pop for you now, courtesy of  the lovely types from The Most Serene Republic.

Their brand of music, with the odd horn and folk type noise going on in there, is a bit reminiscent of the UK’s own Fanfarlo, but ever so slightly breezier. Which is no bad thing, as this had more than enough steam to nicely fill two and a half minutes. And that’s all you can really ask from such fresh faces.

The video’s a nice little touch as well – a single camera rotating around dismembered body parts playing the various parts of the song. I realise that makes it sound a bit grim, but I assure you it’s sweet and adorable. Thanks Canucks!
