Biography
In fact, while VOTG owe a debt to the images of Leone and the soundscapes of Morricone, they are in truth more aligned with the works of Alejandro Jordorowsky (El Topo), delivering an array of music that is far more skewed than it is traditional. But then nothing about this “supergroup”—the loose knit combo is comprised of members of Broken Social Scene, Shalabi Effect, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the squarewaves, and Do Make Say Think—is traditional. Hell, on paper the album looks more like an EP than a full-length, that is until you realize that the bulk of the eight tracks included all exceed 6-minutes (one is an epic even 10-minutes!). And with a rotating cast of 12 musicians, it’s more like a mini-orchestra than an indie rock ensemble.
The album packaging itself is highly indicative of the aural array to be found on the disc itself.

There's little to no chance of a follow-up, apparently this was a one-time project that just came together spontaneously. Feel free to check out some of the other projects affiliated with this group though, like the vocalist Deirdre's project We're Invisible Now http://wereinvisiblenow.bandcamp.com/
