Canada is seven piece musical collective hailing from the Ferndale/Ann Arbor area of Michigan. Conceived on November 18th 2004, by a group of long-time friends, who all happened to play various musical machines, gathered together in a basement full of rain and chandeliers and began writing. Shortly after, they convened on a farm in Ann Arbor and crafted their songs from the air and from the earth. They were different from many of their detroit area counterparts. They acted as though they actually liked one another, and the people coming to see them. Instead of blaring guitars, they employed two cellists. Instead of poorly shouted vocals, they all sang together and clapped their hands. They played every show with infectious excitement. They are able to blend elements of art-pop with honest backwoods charm.
