Artist Bio:
Library Voices is a ten-piece pop collective from Regina, Saskatchewan. Blending tremolo soaked guitars with analog synths, vintage organs, circuit bent electronics, accordion, saxophone, and glockenspiel, their songs play out like an AM radio jingle; mixing the best of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and today. Since forming in spring of 2008, the group has operated at a feverish pace, having recorded a 3 song demo, recorded and released a 6 song ep, and participated in several high profile festivals and showcases including Sled Island (Mogwai, Of Montreal, Okkervil River), Regina Folk Festival (Broken Social Scene, The Weakerthans, Final Fantasy), Gateway Festival (Greg Keelor), and performed before 2500+ at Ness Creek. Library Voices debut EP. Hunting Ghosts & Other Collected Shorts, offers a clear and concise introduction to the collective. The group’s songwriting objectives are evident, bridging sophisticated pop hooks and melodies with complex harmonies and anthemic sing along choruses.
Radio Strategy:
Introduce the band to campus, CBC, and indie shows at Mainstream radio through their EP Hunting For Ghosts & Other Collected Shorts, readying them for their upcoming full length due out January 2009 on Young Soul Records.
Press Quotes:
“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 (Calgary)
