Montreal’s Young Galaxy Announce August 25th Release of Invisible Republic

Invisible Republic

(Release Date: 08/25/09)

The Montreal quintet, Young Galaxy, are set to release their sophomore full-length, Invisible Republic, August 25 in Canada through Fontana North. Recorded in Montreal with Jace Lasek (Besnard Lakes) and Radwan Moumneh (A Silver Mt. Zion), and mixed by Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian/Mogwai/Delgados).

The band is comprised of the original duo of Stephen Ramsay (guitars, vocals),Catherine McCandless’ (keyboards, vocals), Multi instrumentalist Max Henry, and drummer James Lynn.

Invisible Republic is the product of a long musical and personal journey for Ramsay and McCandless, who first burst onto the Canadian music scene in 2007 with their eponymous debut album, which included stunning first single “Swing Your Heartache.” Following extensive touring across North America and Europe that saw Young Galaxy play alongside acts like Metric, The Frames, Peter, Bjorn and John, Death Cab For Cutie, and Stars, touring members of the band returned to various other concerns, leaving only bassist Stephen Kamp alongside Ramsay and McCandless.

“Our mandate for this record was: if it doesn’t make you move, it better make you cry,” quips Ramsay. “Even better is making someone cry and dance at the same time. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but I like it!”
