Live Review: Lambert's w/Brazos & Harlem"Canopy started things off with cheer: eyelid-clenched, chest beating cheer. Theirs is a sound of brightness and percussion, of enthused vocal waves and electronic squiggles. Cries of Vampire Weekend amidst the crowd’s naïve half didn’t do them justice. Once.roughly 8 members strong and fitting of grand bright orchestration in line with Van Dyke Parks (save his actual orchestra), during that incarnation they rattled the smaller venues about town and had a good run of late 2007/2008, releasing their first EP Canopy//Anopy. Having now slimmed down to a four piece their sound is more focused and benefits dramatically. To see where front man Praveen Ayyagari takes his friends in 2009 will be exciting."

Brazos, Harlem & Canopy @ Lambert’s | Jan 06 2009 | Austin by Kyle Rother

CANOPY//ANOPY EP Review"‘.[on] The Listener’, we are afforded the best glimpse of the band’s huge potential. If this song can’t pull you off the couch then it’s too late to call in the paramedics. The driving rhythms push the melody into a soaring trajectory in which French horns and trombones hold us comfortably aloft as if floating along in a hot air balloonwe’re terribly optimistic from this nineteen minute teaser and very much look forward to future recordings from Canopy. In a world mired with enough doom and gloom for the next few generations to come, it’s all the more refreshing to be energized with the precise grooves of glossy pop music which provides exactly what it promises.
