Calgary’s Reverie Sound Revue seems like they’d fit in quite nicely between the indie shoegazer set and the euro electropop crowd, and would be quite the find if not for the fact that they broke up last year. This despite coverage from CBC Radio 3, from which I recorded this track (so if the quality’s off, you know why).

Reverie Sound Revue’s dreamy, cosmopolitan sound remained more firmly rooted than the ethereal tunes of bands like Azure Ray, giving them an immediacy and verve so often missing from the genre. Sadly, it seems electropop bands of this sort are destined to lead protracted lives; my last personal favourite in the field, Floraline, put out one album on Minty Fresh before fading away.
