Do. Make. Say. Think. Years. Happiness.

Do Make Say Think is one of the great under-appreciated bands of Canada. I just never understood why people aren't more excited about these guys. They are very much a part of the Toronto music landscape and are coming out with a new album in October, after having formed in 1996.

One band member, Ohad Benchetrit, has completed his first solo album, of course on Arts & Crafts. His project is called Years and you can check out the amazingly beautiful and amazingly uninformative website here.

Also from the band, Charles Spearin came out earlier this year with The Happiness Project, which is just a small piece of genius. Basically he interviews people about what is happiness and sets it to music. It's way better than it sounds!

The good news is, since they're all the same people, you can catch Do Make Say Think, Years, and The Happiness Project all at the same time. Which is exactly what's happening this Fall in Europe and N. America. Check your listings!

The best way to hear the music is through mySpace for Years and The Happiness Project official website. Otherwise you can sign up and get a pretty decent Arts & Crafts Sampler for free, you only need to provide the felt.
