about
Crestview trust’s members all hail from parts near Hamilton, Ontario. It was there over ten years ago that they met and began playing in rock bands together. After several years of performing and recording in a variety of musical outfits, these four friends left Hamilton and dispersed in their own directions, exploring a range of songwriting styles. More recently they found themselves all living in Toronto, and, reminded of their shared appreciation for bands like Talking Heads, XTC, The Flaming Lips, and The Notwist, they decided to join musical forces as crestview trust. Over the past three years of dedicated writing, rehearsing, performing, and recording the band has experimented with conventional pop song structures, developing a unique sound that stands out for its beautiful melodies, dynamic arrangements, and complex, compelling rhythms. This sound is captured powerfully on crestview trust's eponymous debut CD. Completed in April 2006, this eleven song-cycle features gorgeous vocals, soaring harmonies, and an innovative blend of organic and electronic instrumental elements. Amid guitars, piano, banjo, and trumpet, digital sounds and samples create layered textures that are grafted onto pulsating drums, percussion and bubbling, dubby bass lines. Check it out.
