THE MOST SERENE REPUBLIC / Kingston / Nov 12
KPP/CFRC101.9:
There have been countless records that begin with the same bombast as The Most Serene Republic's …And The Ever Expanding Universe, but few have taken listeners down a path of such enriching, introspective discovery. Long masters at stimulating senses and stirring emotions, the Ontario-based band have never sounded this immediate and attainable.
The sonic density of their previous efforts has given way to more dynamic, engaging fare, as visceral as the most obviously cloying pop music but with a more scintillating head on its shoulders.
So what's prompted a shift in musical direction for The Most Serene Republic? According to the band's musical figurehead Ryan Lenssen, the group is highly critical of and competitive with itself. "I feel like our band challenges our own status quo," he explains. "[Vocalist] Adrian [Jewett] said it really well the other day; the first record [2005's Underwater Cinematographer] was 'denial,' [2007's] Population was 'anger,' and Universe is 'acceptance.' We constantly challenge ourselves not to be stagnant because if we didn't, we'd be in constant states of pain. We need to get out of that and more in tune with nature—the ebbs and flows that make you wanna live."
Hypersensitive and buoyed on by endearing melodrama in their heads, The Most Serene Republic remain a captivating force because they continue to wrestle with their existence (and ours) by conveying such tension and conflict in their extra-extraordinary music.
The Most Serene Republic, Meligrove Band and Pelt all play their first all ages/licenced show in Kingston, on Thursday November 12 at Time to Laugh.
