I found this gem of a band from a friend of mine who lives outside of Toronto, Canada. Their Vimeo page has six videos and I spent about fifteen minutes watching each one. I feel their music is appropriate for a-day-like-today in RVA. The style is ambiant and simple, but for me, its minimalisum says so much with sonically so little. Visually reminiscent of a Jason Reitman film (Juno, Up In The Air), I found their mixture of b-roll footage and melancholy modes soothing. I hope you enjoy Tearjerker as much as I do. Links can be found at the bottom of the page.
