Now, More Than Ever

Jim made wintry treks to London where he recorded with Andy Magoffin at the House of Miracles. But he had some hot-blooded help this time around. Owen & Mike (Hidden Cameras) added string arrangements, Bry from the Cons played some banjo, trusty pal Simon played bass, and loud Evan played drums. 'Even if the phrase 'Canadian indie pop' rouses your skeptical, hype-resistant scowl from its post-New Years snooze, the lush, orchestral puffs of Now, More Than Ever should prove undeniable: Jim Guthrie's sweet, fertile pop deserves all the praise it gets.' --Pitchforkmedia.com
