If you were looking to fill that Minus the Bear-shaped hole in your heart since they broke up, may I submit Montreal band, Sex Machine Octopus for consideration. Mixing complex guitar work, danceable rhythms, and lush synth flourishes, “I Know” sounds like it could have easily come from the Highly Refined Pirates sessions. Although Laurent Boland’s voice is quite different from Jake Snider’s signature croon, the spirit of MTB lives on with SMO.
