Biography

Canadian indie rock quartet Shapes and Sizes spin noise, odd time signatures, and quirky instrumentation into an infectious elixir of pop mayhem reminiscent of Deerhoof, Impossible Shapes, and Frog Eyes. Formed in Victoria, British Columbia, the group consists of Caila Thompson-Hannant, Rory Seydel, Jon Crellin, and Nathan Gage. Their eponymous debut was released in 2006 on the Asthmatic Kitty label. They followed it up with 2007's Split Lips, Winning Hips, a Shiner. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

Shapes and Sizes are a Canadian indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia. There are four members — Nathan Gage, Caila Thompson-Hannant, Rory Seydel and John Crellin. After self-releasing their self-titled first album in early 2006, the band caught the attention of Sufjan Stevens' record label Asthmatic Kitty who later reissued the album in July 2006. They are the only Canadian band to be signed to Asthmatic Kitty.

In January 2007, the band released a split 7" with The Weird Weeds as part of Asthmatic Kitty's new split 7" series, "Unusual Animals". The band's second full-length album, Split Lips, Winning Hips, A Shiner, was released in May 2007.
