Temporary Resident

Though Canadian critics often emphasize the soul-music aspect of the duo, Imaginary Cities utilizes a mixture of musical flavors for a more expansive, often stirring, pop-rock palate, as in the albums' title track "Temporary Resident", or others such as "Don't Cry, " or "Hummingbird". They also take an amusing left turn with "Manitoba Bossa Nova, " which sounds just like the title suggests.
