Hey guys;

Huge, huge fan since I saw you and Dan Mangan in 2009 at the Black Lounge at the University of Calgary. My friends and I were front row and it's still one of my best memories from school. It was my first proper 'Canadian Indie' show, and kicked off a non-stop love affair with the amazing music Canada has to offer.

Second Sight is phenomenal!

My 2 questions:

  1. Second Sight has a very, very different sound when compared to Seeds; a lot more expansive and... mature. Do you guys feel like there was a real change in the way you write your music between the two albums?

  2. Given the calmer, more 'acoustic soundscape' vibe Second Sight seems to put out, do you feel like this has also come through in your (famously high energy) live performances? How have those changed over the years?

I've seen you 6 times now and every single show is amazing. I've also shipped your albums to 7 countries now for friends who I got hooked when I lived abroad. They all agree that Second Sight is another amazing piece of music.

I can't wait to see you guys play the new stuff in February (and maybe, for your Calgary fans, a few tracks from the old discs too)!

Just because it's a seated venue doesn't mean people don't ever get up. One of my favorite concerts was Dan Mangan at the Knox United here in Calgary; for "So Much for Everyone" and "Robots", he actually called anyone who wanted to come down to the front to do so.

In a packed house, I don't think there was a single ass in a seat.
