A Little Tradition
''A Little Tradition'' is the third album by Canadian indie pop band Novillero, released September 9, 2008 on Mint Records. Critical reception Sarah Ferguson of ''Exclaim!'' observed, "The solid creativity in the construction of this music is both carefully produced and emotionally rich... Novillero have been compared to artists from the Killers to the Who. ''A Little Tradition'' makes clear why. If not the same in musical sound they match those bands with the creativity and integrity found in their music." Mark Deming of AllMusic said, "Novillero have always been a pop group with the insistent attack of a crack rock band, and that hasn't changed on ''A Little Tradition''; what has changed is the band's eager embrace of a wider range of the pop spectrum, and a welcome growth as songwriters that has given them the sort of material that demonstrates just how talented a band they are. Tuneful, intelligent, and well-crafted, ''A Little Tradition'' is Novillero's most impressive achie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aim Right For The Holes In Their Lives
''Aim Right for the Holes in Their Lives'' is the second album from Canadian indie rock group Novillero. It was released on Mint Records in 2005. Critical reception David Bernard of ''PopMatters'' said, "The hooks are plentiful, the arrangements are varied, the melodies are memorable and immediate, and the horns are tastefully implemented... With so many highlights, it remains difficult to criticize the more mediocre tracks because they would sound amazing on other releases when sandwiched between other mediocre tracks. An album rich with perfection can have a minor slip-up every once and a while. In this case, I suppose I can excuse those instances." Jason Ankeny of AllMusic said, "This near-perfect debut is most firmly aligned with fellow Vancouver pop dynamos and Mint labelmates the New Pornographers, sharing their knack for whip-smart melodies and ingratiating choruses. ''Aim Right for the Holes in Their Lives'' is a classicist pop record in every sense, recalling the halcyon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

They are regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s. The band emerged during the height of British rhythm ... influenced" and went on to say, "There is a magical, deeply romantic quality one finds in literature that is translated here onto a compact disc – an ambitious undertaking, carried out with restrained elegance".

Canadian Indie Pop Groups
Canadians () are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity and Canadian values. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.
