The Weakerthans

Watermark

Sub City

A too-short, three-song EP with a fun, cool, happy video track for all you computer kids. The video is the title track, straightforward but energetic Canadian pop-rock, feeling like trains and highways in the sunshine, pretty girls, and guitars. The other two contributions are live cuts, both hitting the mellower side. One being almost folksy twang flavored, the other taken off of the piano and applied to a sad melancholy pace. It’s great if you listen to the first song last, then you won’t leave so sad.
