Cinderpop

Cinderpop-Cinnamon Winter EP. This Vancouver band put out the wonderful A Lesson in Science last year, and this EP includes its title track and "Boomerang" from that disc, plus three unreleased tracks that sound quite excellent. They have kind of a baroque style of indie pop - think Elliott Smith with a lot of piano.

Featuring members of Bend Sinister, SK Robot, Moev and the Salteens, Cinderpop open up a Cracker Jack Box of songs for you, where every song is a different prize. Whether you choose a melodic pastiche like Cinnamon Winter, the Smiths-like jangle of Boomerang, or the other Smith (Elliot)-like Latest of the Five, this ep will suit many a musical palette.

Cinderpop has been an integral pat of a vibrant Vancouver Indie scene since the release of Violet Gamma Rays in 2000. Following this came their 2nd acclaimed album, These Skies are Beautiful, which was released in the UK, the US, Spain and Sweden in 2005. Cinnamon Winter is the first release since Lesson In Science, their third album, came out in 2008. Cinderpop are working on another album, several videos and with any luck, should be playing in your neck of the woods sometime soon.
