It’s been a decade since The Most Serene Republic opened the door to the unreasonable and incalculable universe that was 2005’s Underwater Cinematographer. A decade filled with its own impossible things: two more LPs – the oh-so-dreamy Population (2007) and the kaleidoscopic ...And the Ever Expanding Universe (2009) – as well as EPs – Phages (2006), Fantasick Impossibliss EP (2010) and Pre Serene: Thee Oneironauts (2011) and near-constant touring, punctuated by blowing kisses to stage mates like The Strokes, Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars. Now after a half-decade break filled with grown-up things like becoming More educated! Poly- professionals! Creators of little people! Condo-owners! Navally-inclined! – these six friends are ready to unveil a fresh new bewildering view of that strange universe via Mediac a ten-song LP recorded by the band over four years throughout Toronto. And yes, yes… the good stuff is all there: Warm feelies! Bad things! Anxiety! Ontario! Prescriptions! Capitalism! Plus (as a bonus offer!) sweeping melodies, plucked banjo strings, hiccupping violins, drums played by humans, drums spoken by machines but played by humans, bookshelves of guitar lines and bass-lines and keyboards (and god knows what else) punctuated by friendly vocals from friendly faces. This shiny new LP, produced by TMSR’s Ryan Lenssen and mixed by sonic architect David Newfeld, will arrive in the Milky Way galaxy on November 13th via MapleMusic Recordings.
