Formed and founded by Paul Aucoin, a member of the Sadies, this band started in the fall of 2000. Coming from a Greek philosophical word meaning that all matter holds life, the Hylozoists began work on its debut album shortly after forming. In 2001, the group retreated to Seabright, Nova Scotia, where it recorded at Nervous System Sound studios. Signed to Brobdingnagian, the band released its debut album, La Nouvelle Gauche, in 2002. The Hylozoists has been compared to Air, Stereolab, and Tortoise in terms of sound and tone.

@kenviolet: Are you talking about "La Fin du Monde"? I think I can send it to you if you'd like? And I haven't had the chance to listen to "L'Île de Sept Villes" yet; how is it, people? :D:D How does it sound in comparison to the other two albums?

I bought "L'Île de Sept Villes" a couple of days ago and I can't stop listening. It's become the sound track to my wanderings. If your a linux person like me, and can't use itunes, you can get it at zunior.com as well. Well worth it. Cheers

So I was browsing around on the Silent Ballet and stumbled upon this Canadian band with a funny name. Then I read the description and came here to check them out. Wow, how did I miss these guys? Very fun and some wonderful songwriting.

I have two of their CDs right in front of me and they both read 'The Hylozoists' on the spine, sleeve and CD itself. Their MySpace reads 'The Hylozoists' as well so I guess I'm going with it.
