Vancouver's The Beans bust forth with some of their country's best indie post-rock of late. They take improv sketches of profound beauty and simplicity into a realm that is distinctly theirs. Cohorts such as Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Do Make Say Think work in similar territory -- filmic and epic but also particularly Canadian. With one previous album on the Zulu label and favorable reviews of their live performances, the "Tired Snow" EP promises to become essential listening.
