Young Galaxy is a Canadian indie pop duo, whose members are Stephen Ramsay (vocals/guitar) and Catherine McCandless (vocals/keyboards). They formed in Vancouver and moved to Montreal to live and to record their self-titled debut album, expected to be released in 2007. Through the summer of 2005 and the spring of 2006 they recorded with appearances and contributions of many dear friends at Jace Lasek’s Breakglass Studio. Their sound has been described as similar to the bands Slowdive, Galaxie 500 and Luna. Listen at Last.fm
Formed in the fog and bonfires of the West Coast and currently based in the romance and severity of Montreal, they create a kaleidoscopic sound with heavy tones and hypnotic male/female vocals.
Recorded with Jace Lasek and friends at Breakglass Studio in Montreal, the album will be released Spring 2007.

But, by "easy listening" I am referring more to the absolutely mellow groove of the track that so smoothly whisks you away. You can't help but find yourself on some sort of late-night, open-road drive, looking out at a city that is anything but the calm that the song induces. The trade off of male and female vocals create perfect shifts that move the song along, and reach a spacey bliss when they more here
