Mon­treal indie pop rock­ers Think About Life are really start­ing to cre­ate a last­ing buzz with their rockin’ new album Fam­ily, released last month across the US and in Canada this past May. Shortly fol­low­ing the US release of the album came an excel­lent track review of “Havin’ My Baby” on Pitch­fork, label­ing the song best new music and giv­ing the track a solid 8. They also said that this track is pos­si­bly one of the best in 2009 which is good news for Think About Life, who recently blogged about how harsh Pitch­fork usu­ally is towards their music. The blog post antic­i­pated jok­ingly that their new album would prob­a­bly receive a low rat­ing of 2.1, no doubt in reac­tion to the 5 Pitch­fork gave their EP back in 2006 (not as harsh as 2.1, but still).

If I had my way I would’ve given “Havin’ My Baby” a 10 because it’s such an amaz­ingly lay­ered soul­ful track!

They’re cur­rently on tour with indie dar­lings You Say Party! We Say Die! across Ontario and Que­bec and will be in Toronto later this month for the Steam Whis­tle Presents show at Phoenix along with their tour mates as well as Toronto’s Lit­tle Girls who recently graced the cover of Now Mag­a­zine. The show promises to be pretty freakin’ amaz­ing (three great bands for 12 bucks! come on guys, talk about value!) and I’d highly rec­om­mend check­ing it out (and drink­ing as much Steam Whis­tle as you pos­si­bly can), get your tick­ets here!

I wish I could post up a video for “Havin’ My Baby” but unfor­tu­nately they have yet to release one! For now you will have to set­tle for “Sweet Six­teen” off the lat­est album. Enjoy!
