Dear black-clad, moping Organ fans out there, your favourite Smiths-stealing gang of Vancouver ladies are not back together, so continue feeling miserable about everything. The EP is a proper goodbye note, with new songs written just prior to their unexpected breakup in 2006 (and quietly recorded a year later).
How nice they could stand to be in the same room together long enough to cut these songs, some of their strongest work. All six tracks are taut, catchy and depressing, Fire In The Ocean in particular – making you wonder what could have been had they stayed together and followed up Grab That Gun with a proper full-length. Some comfort for Toronto fans: lead singer Katie Sketch has since adopted our city and is rumoured to be working on new projects.
