Biography
Vancouver, Canada (2005 – present)
Young Galaxy formed in Vancouver, Canada, as duo including Stephen Ramsay and Catherine McCandless. Through that summer of 2005 and the spring of 2006 they recorded with appearances and contributions of friends at Jace Lasek’s Breakglass Studio. Their sound has been described as similar to the bands Slowdive, Galaxie 500 and Luna as well as Pink Floyd and Spiritualized. The band has toured in Canada, The United States and Europe, opening for Arcade Fire, The Album Leaf, The Frames, Peter, Bjorn and John, Stars and Death Cab For Cutie. They later moved to Montreal, where they recorded their self-titled debut. The album was released on April 24, 2007.
They recorded their second album Invisible Republic in Montreal at Hotel2Tango studio with Radwan Moumneh engineering (A Silver Mt. Zion, Pas Chic Chic) and at Breakglass Studios with Jace Lasek of The Besnard Lakes engineering. Invisible Republic was released independently on August 25, 2009 through Fontana North. It was mixed by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol) in Glasgow, Scotland. It was subsequently released in July 2010 in the U.S.A. by Paper Bag Records, and received a long list nomination for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.
The band followed up in fall 2010 with YG No Art EP, an EP comprising unreleased tracks and remixes from the Invisible Republic sessions.

I really don't know what it is about Ultramarine...on my first listen I didn't think much of the record. In fact the only song I really enjoyed by this group was We Have Everything, which I discovered while working at my college's radio station a few years ago. I had actually completely forgotten about it until I randomly stumbled upon Young Galaxy on Spotify. However, in the past few weeks I've found myself listening to tracks from Ultramarine, still not knowing whether or not I really enjoy them, but there's definitely something there.

Enya isn't indie pop?

I keep thinking this is some strange Enya indie-pop album.

I think the only reason I paid attention to these guys was that Blown Minded had one of the coolest videos I'd ever seen, but it paid off after all. I'm really enjoying Ultramarine.
