Pick a Piper

I went and saw Pick a Piper last night. A few years back, when Caribou was Manitoba, they delivered one of the top shows I've seen in Montreal, identities hidden behind Rupert the bear masks until the end of the set. My brain was full enough that I didn't stay for much of the headliner -- Prefuse 73. Also on that bill was a new-to-me Fourtet. What a night.

I'd heard that Pick a Piper had some Caribou/Manitoba connections in personnel, more than enough reason to check them out. Energetic stuff, and they manage the difficult task of using a computer track as a component of their music, but still sounding organic and un-rigid. Well done, sirs!
