With a sound described as ‘delectably dreamy’ and ‘sparkling;’ Vancouver’s We Found a Lovebird excels at trance-like chiming rock. Since 2009, they’ve released three albums, one EP and eight singles with highlights including a Polaris Music Prize nomination and radio support from CBC and KEXP. Since 2020, they’ve released seven singles from their upcoming album With Friends Like These.
Their latest release, “Signal Hill,” is a creation coming from multiple sources including a visit to St. John’s, Newfoundland’s Signal Hill which was thought of as a spooky setting for a Spy vs. Spy series. The group often pulls inspiration from iconic people, places and even overheard snippets of conversations.
“Signal Hill” takes us deep into a Canadian Spy vs. Spy scenario in which you (the listener) are complicit and ultimately found out because of your taste in footwear. Musically, “Signal Hill” captures an urgent vibe also brought forth by the way it was recorded. Everything except the vocals were recorded live off the floor in our studio. We love the energy of four guys in a room going for it. There’s no faking the live interplay.
