This CD compiles the original Nothing New release from Toronto duo Georgia issued in 2000 and adds 4 tracks (2 previously unreleased).

From the lesser-known Sesame Street cover, "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" (originally performed by Ernie) to the ethereal "Highway Soul (Miracle Mix)" the album brings in outside talents of Wendal's Jef McLarnon and Oval-Teen's Brad Davis to reach levels far beyond their scrappy debut cassette released three years prior.

Also, check out these other fine My Mean Magpie Releases.

I love the work of Nancy and James Ogilvie, they have a special talent. In this band, Nancy has bigger expression casting beautiful and touching tunes. A mix of sadness, sweetness, tenderness, badassness. The songs are warm and evoke the shadow, the light and the loving spirit of youth. I can feel myself around 16 years old, wearing out my sneakers on the sunny sidewalks, walking toward crazy nights and all the musical and loving adventures that came with that age, with the heart overflowing with hope, without knowing that.

Interesting blend of a slow-moving folk & indie experimental. I like the feel of these songs. With a lot of this minimally-produced stuff, the emotion figures bigger than the 'technique' or the 'quality' of the recording process. If you can live with that, you'll enjoy.

Subject: hypnotic power of Northern Lights

the Northern Lights track is amazingly hypnotic. This song (as well as the others) can grow on you.

The songs are slow, minimalist, psychodelic, sometimes a little monotonous and atonal. A little like No lo tengo, cocteau twins or Dream Pop. Some of the pieces are insubstantial, but the overall package is quite nice.

another strange thing. Some of the times for the tracks are completely off. My winamp shows Northern States as 53 minutes long, (which is really 9 minutes).
