LAST EXIT
[KIN/Domino; 2004]
so, your favourite website (pitchforkmedia.com) reviews a new cd by an unheralded canadian duo on june 16 (8.9 out of 10). the same day you receive your weekly othermusic (NYC) email update. it sounds to you, having not heard it, like the magnetic fields meets the postal service. so the quest begins. along the way you acquire a new vocabulary - it's emo-electronica, indie romanticism meets neptunes/timbaland beats. you even try borders, because it sounds, like, "literate". no luck. you wait. then on september 22 your inbox contains a further othermusic update declaring domino records have released last exit domestically to the US market. not only that but it contains a bonus disc featuring caribou (nee manitoba) and fennesz remixes. you finally purchase your very own copy on october 28. was it worth it? electro-dreampop album of the year
