Oh My Rockness

Stephen Ramsay and Catherine McCandless are Young Galaxy. (You may know Ramsay from everybody's favorite ageless beauties, Stars). Together, the two pleasant Canadians trade off breezy vocals to create lushly layered indie-pop that throws in some subtle synths to round out their soft sound. Kind of sounds like Stars, doesn't it?

Young Galaxy's music seems meant to correspond with lots of light, so whatever stage they play on better have lots of blue and red and green beams firing off from above as they play these dreamlike tracks. It'll be trippy. Their debut is due out on Arts & Crafts, home to such spazzy noise-core bands as American Analog Set and Broken Social Scene.
