Today's Tune: Ohbijou - "Niagara"


Toronto's powerhouse chamber-pop ensemble Ohbijou have always packed their songs with lush arrangements, emotional poignancy and enough charm to make anyone sit up and pay attention. What's really noteworthy is that they've managed to one-up themselves on "Niagara", the lead single from Metal Meets (out September 27th), by adding more musical elements (swirling keyboards, rock-riff punch) in such a controlled way that it sounds beautifully restrained.  This is revelatory make-out music.
