This came out in 2005 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
No, Vancouver indie-popsters P:ano aren’t covering the classic Lerner and Loewe musical (though that would be pretty nifty, doncha think?).
They’re using the mythical land of Brigadoon as a utopian symbol; a metaphor for their search for pop perfection. Not that any of that drivel really matters. The only thing that counts is that on this third full-length, this multi-talented co-ed quartet employ everything from brass to zithers (and yes, piano) to craft nearly two dozen wonderfully idiosyncratic, quietly magnificent gems that seem equally inspired by the orch-pop daring of Brian Wilson, the quirky tunesmithery of Magnetic Fields and the slocore elegance of Low. Which is pretty nifty all on its own, doncha think?
