Code Pie
The Most Trusted Name in Yous
[ Flagless; 2007 ]

“Possessing a powerful group dynamic reminiscent of Modest Mouse by way of the Arcade Fire, it should only be a matter of time before Code Pie become one of Canada’s prime musical exports.”
— Exclaim

“At turns orchestral, energetic, thoughtful and raucous, Code Pie have been hailed as the next great band from Montreal . A six-piece outfit that sounds like a marching band playing pop this is music at its most idealistic and fun.”
— Review from Manchester, UK’s In the City festival

“A delightfully expansive indie-rock sound emerges on the second release by this Montreal collective… Trumpets, strings, twinkling guitars and an intuitive attraction to the modestly anthemic make for good times, and feel-good tunes.”
—The Montreal Gazette

“Code Pie has crafted an impressive collection of textured tracks that could beck and call any indie enthusiast… Code Pie’s take on smart indie is as gorgeous as anything else currently being crafted in Montreal.”
— The View (Hamilton)

“A sprawling, ceaselessly entertaining release that stretches over sixteen tracks in nearly an hour, it is yet another sophomore album that enhances the previously distinguishable style of its predecessor.”
— Obscure Sound

“What is it with Montreal? How does that place keep producing amazing, creative, and completely independent bands like Code Pie? …their energetic, upbeat, trumpet-adorned art rock still ranks up there with the other boundary-pushing bands in the genre (the Old Soul, Broken Social Scene, Think About Life, etc. etc.)… likely to blow minds and rock parties in cities near you.”
— The Spill Magazine

“Yous goes for broke, getting rid of the tension and relief, going for the melodic jugular with every track.”
— Exclaim (Chris Wibbs)

“Melodically soaring and swooping chamber pop.”
— The Hour

Code Pie
This Habit
[ Flagless; 2005 ]

“You should own this CD.”
— The Coast (Halifax). (July 21- July 28, 2005)

“Their pensive intros, escalating arrangements and the heady sheen of their peaking guitars bring a touch of post-rock to proceedings, completing the triangular seduction of this debut disc. 8/10″
— Montreal Mirror

“Code Pie’s take on smart, politicized indie is as gorgeous as anything else currently being crafted in Montreal. My proof is ‘Cement Truck’ and ‘Gala’. Go ahead, see for yourself.”
— The View (Hamilton)

“A very appropriate title for an album, This Habit is definitely one that even the most cold hearted of listeners will get addicted too.”
— Exclaim, print version

“Full of inventiveness and skill, the only thing the band lacked in creating this album was a recording budget.”
— Popmatters.com

“Rock malinconico di chiara scuola Radiohead, ma anche qualche occhiata lanciata in direzione Mercury Rev ( ‘No Planes, No Tickets’), sono ulteriori elementi che fanno presagire per il gruppo di Montreal un interessante futuro, ed un esposizione in grado di andare ben oltre il solo, comunque positivo, interesse suscitato nella scena alternativa canadese.”
