She has also collaborated with a host of stars including: The Tragically Hip, Wooden Stars, Herman Düne, Okkervil River, and Mount Eerie .
"Doiron, once of Eric's Trip, has produced an album of boundless optimism for the post-Bush age" Uncut
"she enunciates with a child's relish, tonguing vowels as though they're glazed in jam. her voice apple blossom rich, the melody capacious" Plan B
"Yet it's a blissful record from a contented soul." Subba-Culture

Construction and Destruction (Canada)
www.myspace.com/davidtrenaman
Lofi-Garage-tronica DIY purist Partners Colleen Collins and David Trenaman, live in, work out of an old house record by the sea in the rural wilds of Port Greville, Nova Scotia, where they in a studio they call, affectionately, The Quarantine. Here, spurred by the creative breeding ground they inhabit at the feet of the ancient Cobequid Mountains and the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean's highest tides, the ragged and open northern geography elicits musical explorations of inner geographies. Construction & Destruction have played the Pop Montreal, the Halifax Pop Explosion, and Sappyfest and with Julie Doiron, Dog Day, Eric’s Trip and are due to release their third album, video et taceo, in September 2009.
"power tools after dark" Sappyfest
"sparse, unkempt and challenging" Wolves, Hawks and Kites
"lo-fi gold that can be grouped with the greats" The Coast

Former Utopia (Damnably)
www.mypsace.com/formerutopia

Radio 6/Resonance FM featured East London born, X-Lazarus Clamp bassist is a genre defying intelligent edgy song smith that producing the kind of mortally sad, black humoured alt. folk that reminiscent of Lambchop, Mountain Goats and on occasion Shellac. He has gigged with Chris Brokaw, The Thalia Zedek band, Swell, Mick Turner (Dirty Three) P.W Long, David Grubbs and backed Damo Suzuki
"like (smog) on holiday in shellac" Drowned in Sound
“Awesome” Magic Teapot

Lazarus Clamp (Bearos/Red Rabitt Collective)
www.myspace.com/lazarusclamp

This 1993 formed UK alt. folk/post-punk institution have played with Giant Sand, Chris Brokaw, The New Year, Laura Cantrell, Richard Buckner, David Grubbs, Herman Dune, and at SXSW in 2001. Lazarus Clamp are magically inventive, and capable of producing muscular post-punk as heavy as Silkworm or Shellac, intricately textured post-rockers, and deceptively purty pop songs in the tradition of the Go-Betweens or Palace.

"Lazarus Clamp are one of the minor, undiscovered, rough-cut gems of British independent music" Drowned In Sound
"Rather wonderful" The Big Issue
"Lazarus Clamp post-rock triumphantly" NME
"Delicate and subtle dynamic" The Guardian
