“Sabians” is by Shimmering Stars, a Vancouver band who make the sort of spring-reverbed throwback garage pop we seem to need right now.
They have other, catchier numbers (try them with some video accompaniment here and here), but “Sabians” finds them at their most run-down. It’s the end of the night and a dozen of us are left in the cavernous gymnasium; the band are tired and want to go home.
But we’ll press together, they’ll sing, and at the last possible moment we’ll wring out some sweetness, barely.
Also, hey. “Back to the Future” is in theatres again.
