The Hundreds and Thousands

about

As The Hundreds and Thousands, Ian LeFeuvre, Peter von Althen (drums), and Maury LaFoy (bass) paint a beautifully unapologetic picture of life interrupted and rediscovered. Driven by brick wall bass and drums, the album documents the emotional and physical confines of day-to-day drudgery—crowded trains, unfocused thoughts, the brash white noise of passing conversations—but the payoff for survival is immeasurable. Through all the bare-knuckle angst, LeFeuvre’s resplendent melodies and powerful voice shine through with an unmistakable message of hope. All former members of power-pop outfit Starling, each musician brings a wealth of recording experience to The Hundreds and Thousands. Von Althen’s resume reads like a who’s who of the Canadian scene (Kathleen Edwards, Jim Bryson, Skydiggers), while LaFoy’s bass history cross-references the folk reverie of Sarah Harmer with k-os’ next level hip-hop. As a producer and songwriter, LeFeuvre’s recording credits are nothing short of exemplary. In addition to providing music for films and TV shows like The Girl Next Door, “The Shield,” and “Queer As Folk,” the Toronto-based musician produced Lynn Miles’ Juno Award-winning Unravel, and is currently writing and producing with Barenaked Ladies singer Ed Robertson. Like LaFoy, he appeared on k-os’ 2007 release, Atlantis: Hymns For Disco, and will be featured on the forthcoming Yes! As chief songwriter and producer for The Hundreds and Thousands, LeFeuvre has combined his pop ingenuity with
