My Dad vs Yours

about

Little Symphonies After three years of building songs up, then carving them back down to their essentials, My Dad vs Yours has broken the post-rock mould into sparkling gems. Their second full-length album, Little Symphonies, is built around philosophies of pop music by balancing aesthetic and practical landscapes influenced by Phil Spector’s “wall of sound”. And they’ve done it with style, using delicious layers of melody and samples that include analog synths, beat-boxing, local church bells (backed by road construction), family recordings and lush string arrangements. The album is more upbeat than its predecessor, with a pop-inspired intensity varnishing the band’s careful instrumentation. This positive energy supports the album’s overall message: that the small things matter, and that our everyday battles will ready us for whatever life throws our way. My Dad vs Yours Ottawa’s own, My Dad vs Yours has achieved more success than was expected and feel humbled to be together in the present day. Formed in 2000, the band have gone through some personnel change but always re-emerge with a new, musical endeavour. MDVY have released 2 previous critically acclaimed works (Winning Hearts and Minds EP & After Winter Must Come Spring LP) to a very receptive audience worldwide. Most notably, their song “Habla Paisano” was used during a pre-game interview in Superbowl 2008. MDVY continue to receive accolades for their work, allowing for various tours at great venues throughout Easte
