Canadians (and those in the know), tell me about Hey Ocean! and Imaginary Cities
 

I have just come across these two bands and my first impressions are positive.

There is little in the way of reviews for either band on the web, so which of their albums are worth buying? I know that Imaginary cities only have the one record, so a general yeh or ney for them.

Hey Ocean! is pretty sweet. Check out "IS"

I listened to one Imaginary Cities song and it seemed alright.

Was it this track? This was the track that grabbed me.

The vocalist sounds like a cross between Amy Winehouse and Joanna Newsom.

Yes, yes it was.

Just because it was the first one to come up on Youtube.

Never would've pegged Gertner for a Hey Ocean! fan.

Yeah, Gertner. Aren't they indie shite to you?

I am Canadian and haven't heard of either of them..... I guess I'm out of the loop, eh.....
