Ohbijou released a stunningly arranged album entitled "Beacons" this year. Ohbijou showcases the builds, orchestration, and undulating dynamism of art rock greats like Arcade Fire's "Funeral". Singer Casey Mecija, who founded the music project years ago, possesses a silky voice comparable to that of Leigh Nash of Sixpence None The Richer. It is powerfully intriguing even in its most delicate near-whispers on songs like "Make It Gold". The album is very upbeat throughout and yet exhibits hushed strings, keyboards, and percussion, as well as some mellow breaks.
In 2008 Ohbijou released a split 12" record with fellow Canadian indie band The Acorn, on which each band delightfully submitted an original composition as well as a cover of a song by the other band. In 2006, Ohbijou released their debut LP, "Swift Feet For Troubling times".
