SHAPES AND SIZES: Self-titled

From Canada's misty Pacific Southwest emerges Shapes and Sizes, fully formed and self-defined,

yet redolent with future promise. Shapes and Sizes' melodic pop inhabits a world of beauty,

noise, whispers, and elusive, contradictory moods, where the dynamic of a steam piston gives

way to elegiac understatement, often within one song. With three of its four members writing

for the band, their repertoire is one of constant surprise, often going out on a limb, but never

falling off.

From Victoria, British Columbia, but soon to call Vancouver home, Caila Thompson-Hannant, Rory

Seydel, Jon Crellin and Nathan Gage have shared stages with Western Canadian favorites Frog

Eyes, Daddy's Hands, The Immaculate Machine, Chet and They Shoot Horses, Don't They? On

their first mammoth nine week tour of the U.S. and Canada, S&S played with Japanther, Tiger

Saw, Mt. Gigantic, The Weird Weeds and Run Chico Run.

Thompson-Hannant commands vocal range and control uncommon in the world of indie-rock, a

purity perfectly balanced by Rory Seydel's raw, emotional voice. The quartet is rounded off by the

drums and bass of Crellin and Gage, long time professional musicians whose experience brings

elements of textural complexity to a band that can build castles in the air and reduce them to

atoms. For their self-titled debut, Shapes and Sizes teamed up with long time Frog Eyes engineer,

Tolan McNeil, and enlisted an army of saxophones, trumpets, vibraphones, and violas to further

their cause.
