NEW ALBUM - DIE STADT MUZIKANTEN  (April 2010)

The fifteen tracks on Die Stadt Muzikanten move and contort like a film soundtrack.  Lush, grand moments complement Mark's signature cinematic "pretty-pretty-pop" sound.  Hamilton, breathes a glorious new life into Die Stadt Muzikanten, an album both inspired by an extended stay in Germany and of the comparative lives of his ancestors.

"I started think­ing in terms of couples," explains Hamilton of his time in Berlin, "of people coming and going, of walls and windows.  Images of boating across the ocean to an unknown new life, and how so many of the movements I took run in the opposite direction from theirs. " Upon his return to his small Calgary apartment, the songs revealed themselves and Die Stadt Muzikanten was born.

"Calgary's best-kept secret... turned a limited run of non-album tracks into a Polaris Prize long-listed record. Just imagine what they'll do when they release Die Stadt Muzikanten, an album that's actually meant to be an album." - CHROMEWAVES
