[Edit]

Winnipeg's unrepentantly quirky Boats returned with A Fairway Full of Miners, an over the top follow-up to 2011's Cannonballs, Cannonballs. The band immediately calls to mind the meaningful sentiments and clean production style of bands like the Decemberists and Arcade Fire, swapping out some of those bands' urgency and fervor for a more lighthearted feel, still spirited and neatly arranged, but lacking some of the darkness. Tracks like "Great Skulls" and "Sad Legs" show Boats cycling through sharp arrangements of electronics, rigid vocal harmonies, tandem trumpet lines, and tastefully placed blasts of guitar. Almost every song is packed with shifting arrangements, at their very best recalling the same sort of energy that set Clap Your Hands Say Yeah apart in their early days.
