With a lush, spacey pop sound similar to Ivy and The Cardigans,
Vancouver's Maplewood Lane is out to take the world, one endeared fan
after another. The Golden Skies is six songs of
absolute pop, with infectious opener "Come What May" and incredible "Canadian
Winters" leading the way. Cutesy "The Brightest Star" also makes
itself known, though the last three tracks - though pleasant - seem to
seep a bit into the background. They are still worth listening to, but
don't hold your attention as well as the others. Regardless, this disc
is worth it for the first half - even if the second drags a bit.
