Toronto indie rockers Christ vs. Krishna might have a polarizing name, but they have a unifying sound. Their mellow British new wave-influenced indie rock is a sound that’s all too easy to fall in love with.
The band released a self-titled EP in 2009 with their first full-length, Sidewalk Astronomy, following in 2011. They’re back this year with a seven-song EP titled Move and Scale and plan to bring their critically-acclaimed live show across the country to promote it. The band’s hook-ridden and supremely rhythmic songs have all the ingredients necessary to make the band an indie staple alongside acts such as The New Pornographers and Stars. Their songs are easy to get into, at which point the listener discovers the buried melodies and hidden intricacies within tracks such as “Full Circle,” making for an ever-evolving and lasting experience.
