"There was a time when the band was given this label that had a lot to do with nostalgia that we never intended," King clarifies amid a day navigating media obligations at Chinatown's Wyndham Garden. As for Japandroids themselves, they're not in the business of living up to other people's ghosts. Ditto for Celebration's "Younger Us," and a fistful of others. Instead, they've been pigeonholed into memories, and not necessarily their own.įans should be forgiven, if not commended, if they rely on the ramshackle exuberance of "Young Hearts Spark Fire" from Post-Nothing to recall carefree-ish, optimistic-ish bygone sections of their lifetime. Since a surprise audience coalesced around 2009's Post-Nothing and their follow-up Celebration Rock mushroomed into the quintessential indie rock record of 2012, Brian King and David Prowse haven't been boxed into a style or one or two emblematic tracks.
