The Natural Shocks – Kobayashi Maru EP

Loving Canadian music is old hat by now – even The New Republic is in on lovin’ our neighbor to the north.  And a new act to check out from the Great White North is Toronto’s The Natural Shocks, who recently put out a great four-song EP, Kobayashi Maru.  Lead-off track "Change" expands in all the right Canadian indie-wash ways – both expansive enough in the fuzz to take you over, yet still with a pop/rock underbelly to hook you in.  "Chosen Ones" is nicely catchier, while "Daydream" is as airy & lovely as its title and "War of Attrition" brings a darker undercurrent.
